Yesterday was a busy place in both the House and Senate.

 

In the House, SB337 Gun Dealer Licensing - Various was passed back to the Senate, as amended by House Amendment 1, and with the promise of a trailer bill to remove a registration requirement. The Senate later concurred with the House amendment and, having passed both bodies, the bill will be sent to the Governor for his consideration. Notably, a supermajority vote was not acheived in either house.

 

SB3256 (72 Hour Waiting Period/Repeals Nonresident Exemption) also passed out of the House, as amended by House Amendment 1. We will list it under Senate concurrence, though that motion is still in committee.

 

SB2561 Pre-Package Explosive Component is now on postponed consideration after receiving only 59 affirmative votes in the House.

 

 

HB2354 Lethal Order of Protection passed out of the Senate on a vote of 43/11/0. Having passed both bodies it, too, will be sent to the Governor.

 

 

The House is scheduled for 9:00 AM today; the Senate for 9:30 AM.

Good morning team mates, are we ready for more #winning from our #GOPSTRONG Stallions in the Swamp? I slept in, but I'm here for a while and can cover if any anyone needs to step off.

Ah, a perfect picture in the Senate. Camera is on Nybo, asking a question about a bill being debated. Behind him is another Senator, not listening to the debate, but reading the newspaper, while STS with another Senator.

That's what we're paying for, feels good, right?
