In the Senate yesterday, Amendment 1 to SB714 Safety Tech was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committe and posted to yesterday's hearings. Though it has been referred to the Subcommittee on Firearms, we'll list it below since it's already at third reading.

Further updates may follow as the results of additional committee hearings become available. One thing is certain - our opposition to these anti-gun bills has touched a few nerves.


The House and Senate are scheduled for 12:00 Noon again today.



Next Days Scheduled

House: 3/21/2019
Senate: 3/21/2019

Did you accidentally do a dupe copy of the SB0715 synopsis for SB0714? I had missed this shell bill before and surprised to see it had gotten to 3rd reading.

 

SB0714 SA001

Provides that the Department of State Police shall either approve or deny all applications within 90 days (rather than 30 days) from the date they are received.

Today is the day that MDA has their advocacy day is Springfield. although they can't draw the crowds that Molly does at town halls or even a fraction of what we do at IGOLD you can expect them to get the royal treatment from LWW politicians. hopefully these couple dozen nothing better to do "moms" don't influence anything big today.

Have 0714/0715 opened for witness slips yet?

They might take offense at the word "sneak", but from a constituent point of view sneak is about the only way to describe this.

 

The way they sometimes sneak bills/amendments into committee there was a very short window, a matter of hours, during which witness slips could have been filed. That window is closed unless they try to move these again.

Wow, almost seems like this defeats the purpose of the witness slip process. So these are up for a vote today then?

No, the amendments on both bills were referred to the firearm subcommittee yesterday. I'm listing them because of how quickly things could happen on these.

Do Floor Amendments always go back to committee? Previously with the bill at 3rd reading I was surprised by that. Guess Ive forgotten how things work since last year.

Where on earth did this come from ?!

 

It's common in the Senate to move large blocks of shell bills to third reading, then amend them when needed. It makes it more difficult to follow what they're up to and leaves little time for any reaction to the substantive language.

 

SB715 was moved to 3rd on 3/7/2019. The amendment was filed a week later.

That is both more informative, and less snide toward this state's legislative process, than an answer I was working on.

 

Thank you.

I lifted this from capitolfax:

 

People are getting turned away at the Illinois State Capitol after at least 3,600 people gathered in the first floor rotunda for a pro-life rally. Officials say it’s too dangerous to let anyone else in. #twill pic.twitter.com/X1t0St9iNd

The entire main staircase was clogged when I tried to get up to the second floor. Between a pro-life rally and a @MomsDemand rally, I've rarely seen the building so full. https://t.co/V5KLHwpMPD
