Today is the 35th day since Governor Rauner returned his SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing veto message to the Senate. The Senate counts this as 7 days.

 

 

The printed deadline is behind us for bills in committee, but we'll continue to monitor a few bills that are not yet approved for consideration and have had their committee deadlines extended.

 

We'll also watch for the unnecessary, though inevitable surprise attacks. For example HB1470 Criminal Law Tech was very suddenly added to the House Judiciary - Criminal hearing schedule for this afternoon. As amended, the bill seeks to impose a one a one gun per month limit on handgun purchases as well as establishing penalties for having an intention to sell a gun. Please join us in opposing this bill via witness slips as outlined in our 4/16/2018 Urgent Call to Action, as well as the three bills described in our 4/15/2018 Call to Action

 

I removed SB2317 Crim Cd - Trigger Modification from our daily calendar today. It's been referred back to the Assignments Committee.

 

 

 

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