e. Laws or authority scheduled to be repealed prior to June 1, 2021 ;

Irony: Buried in 2a will probably be anti-2A measures.

Keep in mind that calling a special session does nothing to prevent a regular session while they're in Springfield. There will be some things in fact, like adjourning the Spring Session, that have to be done during a regular session.

 

We'll need to be watchful during this time.

I see what you did there.

 

Also, you could be right. Everything in the EOs could be up for redefinition.

Even though there probably won't be any 2A bills, do you suppose we'll have a chance to file witness slips on the things the ILGA tries to pass?

I think we may see some hearings scheduled, possibly as soon as Wednesday. We'll be watching the amendments on SB1966, of course.
