Illinois General Assembly 11/9/2017

Today is the final day scheduled for the 2017 Fall Veto Session. Only the Senate will be in session as the House finished its business yesterday.

The list of Senate bills we're watching is one bill shorter today. The legislature's allotted time to override the SB315 FOID Explosive Components veto has expired. The veto stands.

The remaining bills in the Senate are moot, at least for now. With the House now in recess SB236 ("Assault Weapon" & Trigger Modification Ban), even if passed out of the Senate, will find no one in the House to read it into the record. And SB333 (SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing Trailer Bill) proposes to modify SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing only if SB1675 becomes law, which it cannot without a House vote.



The Senate is scheduled for 11:30 AM today. The House is not in.


Next Days Scheduled

House: 1/23/2018
Senate: 1/30/2018

I am asking this JUST TO BE SURE:

 

SB1657 is totally door nail dead, the horrible vote that got it out of the senate - the anti-gun vote done by the (expletive self-deleted) Republican appointee Senator Tom Rooney of the 27th District counts for NOTHING legislatively any more.

 

This also acknowledges that they could pour the EXACT same language into a NEW bill and try it again next session.

But they have to start out fresh with all new votes, also with a looming election.

 

Right?

 

 

 

Remember to remind APPOINTED Sen Tom Rooney how his brain fart stirred up a gun owner's hornet nest at end of session.

Thank him appropriately for all the angst and adrenaline he cost us. Just don't put an anti-gun Democrat into that seat.

Another year, no major progress on our 2A rights but no major setbacks. All's quiet on the Western Front.

 

You need to remember our "ground game" from the last decade or more. VERY aggressive and ARDUOUS defense. A few precious advances.

 

And remember that the concealed carry license was a legislative anomaly - NOT a "change of sky".

Many things came together "just right" to set the stage.

The federal courts.

Downstate voters that WOULDN'T throw Chicago gunowners under the bus.

Downstate voters who were primed to SERIOUSLY endanger Madigan's majority status.

THAT'S what got us here.

 

As long as Madigan and the anti's can stick their "thumb on the scale" legislatively to block our bills from a fair hearing, this will continue.

No. Other avenues might be more likely but SB1657 isn't door nail dead.

I think Mark had the same question as me: With the 2 year period of the 100th General Assembly, do bills submitted and not passed within a Legislative calendar year (jan-Jan) retain their current status (e.g. out of committee, passed in one chamber, only needing 3rd reading in other, etc) or do they start anew with filing, committees, and such.

 

It sounds like they will retain current status until action taken or until the end of the 2 year GA?

 

Is that correct?

I expect the bill to be referred back to the House Rules Committee after the deadline extension passes.

 

If they want to run the same bill again it's possible for it to come out of Rules and go right to the floor, or it could go through substantive committee again. There are other things they could do, too, but I don't want to outline them here.

 

I'm sure they're weighing their options at this point.

More than likely gun dealer licensing will be rewritten to get more support in the house and reintroduced next session. It will be more dangers next go-round. It shall be a real test for the next NRA lobbyist. Baptism by fire.

As expected, SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing was referred back to the House Rules Committee today.

 

We'll be watching, of course, for their next move.

Aahhh. The House Rules Committee.

No bill can become law in Illinois without passing through that committee.

Speaker Madigan Rules that Committee.

No bill can become law in Illinois without Speaker Madigans express approval

 

Not just one party government but one person government.

I.e. a dictatorship.

Maybe it should be the Ruler's Committee.
