In House Committee yesterday, it appears that House Amendment 1 and House Amendment 2 to HB1470 Criminal Law Tech were either not heard, or were postponed. We'll know more today.

 

In the Senate, SB2677 Electronic FOID & FCCL, as amended by Senate Amendment 1, passed on a vote of 56/0/0. The bill will be sent to the House.

 

Also in the Senate, the deadline on the gun dealer licensing veto passed with no action. The Veto stands on SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing.

 

Amendment 2 has been filed on SB337 Regulation Tech as a replacement for SB1657. SB337 spent much of it's early life as a SB1657 trailer bill.

In House Committee yesterday, it appears that House Amendment 1 and House Amendment 2 to HB1470 Criminal Law Tech were either not heard, or were postponed. We'll know more today.

 

In the Senate, SB2677 Electronic FOID & FCCL, as amended by Senate Amendment 1, passed on a vote of 56/0/0. The bill will be sent to the House.

 

Also in the Senate, the deadline on the gun dealer licensing veto passed with no action. The Veto stands on SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing.

 

Amendment 2 has been filed on SB337 Regulation Tech as a replacement for SB1657. The latter bill spent much of it's early life as a SB1657 Trailer Bill.

 

 

 

The House ia scheduled for 11:00 AM today. The Senate is scheduled for 10:30 AM.

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 4/27/2018

Senate: 4/27/2018

Wow. These opening status posts are currently a novel! Thanks for keeping us all informed...

 

Yeah and the really depressing part is they all list our position as âopposeâ, âopposeâ, âopposeâ, âopposeâ, and on and on and on.

I am convinced CCL was the only positive 2A thing Iâll ever see in my lifetime come from SPI and that was only because they had to. Ugh.

House Amendment 1 has been filed on HB2354 Lethal Order of Protection

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Firearms Restraining Order Act. Provides that a petitioner may request an emergency firearms restraining order by filing an affidavit or verified pleading alleging that the respondent poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Provides that the petition shall also describe the type, and location of any firearm or firearms presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent. Provides that the petitioner may be a family member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer, who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Establishes factors that the court must consider before issuing a firearms restraining order. Provides for the issuance of ex parte orders and 6-month orders. Provides that if the court issues the order the respondent must: (1) refrain from having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving additional firearms for the duration of the order; and (2) turn over to the local law enforcement agency any firearm, Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or concealed carry license in his or her possession. Provides that a respondent whose Firearm Owner's Identification Card has been revoked may petition the court to transfer the respondent's firearm to a person who is lawfully able to possess the firearm if the person does not reside at the same address as the respondent. Provides that notice of the petition shall be served upon the person protected by the firearms restraining order. Establishes factors for renewing and terminating firearms restraining orders. Provides that if the court denies issuance of a firearms restraining order against the respondent, all records of the proceeding shall be immediately expunged from the court records. Provides that if the firearms restraining order is granted, all records of the proceeding shall, 3 years after the expiration of the order, be sealed. Provides that any act of omission or commission by any law enforcement officer acting in good faith in rendering emergency assistance or otherwise enforcing this Act shall not impose civil liability upon the law enforcement officer or his or her supervisor or employer, unless the act is a result of willful or wanton misconduct. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes.

Anyone else expecting to get boned in the next few sessions because they failed to get 1657 overridden?

Not really. I think they're really beginning to look at the JB administration as their new timeline. Harmon said as much yesterday in one of his comments about getting this Dealer Licensing passed.

K. it is painfully obvious that the 'sponsors', the alleged writers of bills, do not know their own bills. So, whom actually writes them? Their staff?

Regardless of who writes them, if it was me sponsoring the bill I would be quite familiar with it before it came to the floor. For no other reason than to not look as stupid as these fools do.

Agreed. Though some like the President who have 40 or 50 at a time, perhaps should introduce less (as the whole legislation should)
