Today is the 37th day since Governor Rauner returned his SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing veto message to the Senate. The Senate counts this as 9 days.

 

As the week winds down we remind you to reserve Wednesday, April 25, to attend IGOLD.

 

Yesterday saw some movement on gun bills in both House and Senate, of the variety that moves second reading bills to third and adoption of amendments. None were surprising. All bear close watch as we move toward third reading deadlines.

 

 

 

 

The House ia scheduled for 9:00 AM today. The Senate is not in.

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 4/23/2018 @ 3:00 PM
