mauserme Posted April 23, 2017 at 11:55 PM Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 at 11:55 PM .In the two weeks since the legislature was last in Springfield new legislation, Senate Amendment 1 to SB233 Safety Tech was filed, proposing diversion opportunities for first time firearm offenders, additional funding for violence prevention programs, and somewhat hightened rail transport regulations. We take this bill as a statement against SB1722 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing specifically, as an alternative to mass incarceration in general, and as a starting point for potentially interesting conversation. When the Senate returns tomorrow, we will list this bill on the calendar at third reading with the amendment pending, but without a position at this time.The House is scheduled for 2:00 PM today. The Senate is not in.Next Days ScheduledHouse: 4/25/2017Senate: 4/25/2017House Calendar..3rdreadingdeadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwc Posted April 24, 2017 at 03:19 PM Share Posted April 24, 2017 at 03:19 PM Glad to see my Senator Tom Cullerton (Democrat!) is a chief cosponsor for SB1524 Concealed Carry Military. Sen Tom Cullerton also happens to chair the Veteran's Affairs committee, so I suspect he has a heightened interest in supporting military members. What's his position on gun dealer licensing? Well, he certainly isn't a sponsor of SB1657. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted April 24, 2017 at 04:14 PM Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 at 04:14 PM Senator Tom Cullerton has been generally on our side of gun issues. For example, in our 2012 election survey he indicated that he was in favor of concealed carry and did vote for it during his freshman term in office. If I remember correctly, Todd helped him in his recent re-election bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but maybe a little more than that today. They're working on a list of each sponsor's priority bills. The fact that this was called means she listed it as a priority but she isn't in a position to debate it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
