Monitoring New Bills - Volunteers Needed


mauserme

Recommended Posts

The 97th General Assembly "Part 2" started January 30, 2012 and we are in need of volunteers to help watch for new bills. Monitoring this is critical to our continued success in fighting for our Second Amendement rights, yet the process is quite easy.

 

Each volunteer will be assigned a group of 200 bill numbers. Simply visit the Bills and Resolutions page of the General Assembly, click on the number groups assigned to you, and check any that appear to effect us (normally this is best done by right clicking the bill, then clicking "open in a new tab". so you don't lose your place in the list).

 

Pay particular attention to bills that effect the following codes, including "shell bills" that change a single word but can be used for other purposes later. Appropriations bills can be ignored:

 

430 - Public Safety Code

520 - Wildlife Code

525 - Conservation Code

720 - Criminal Code

 

Since we started monitoring bills last year many number groups are already assigned:

Aren't these the bills that we read when they were first introduced at the beginning of the session?

 

 

The bills above the line -------------------------- are those that were assigned last year (generally), and below the line are newer. I included the old ones so no one would wonder why I skipped a bunch.

 

 

Edited to ask which ones I should pencil you in for?

I'm new to all this, but i have alot of internet time available during the day. If someone can give me an idea of what's needed I'd be glad to help out with a number range.

Just click the link in my opening post to go to the General Assembly page for Bills and Resolutions. You'll see something like this:

 

post-1741-132820583382.jpg

 

 

Click on the group(s) assigned to you to get the full list of titles. It will be similar to this:

 

 

post-1741-132820589771.jpg

 

The bills indicated would definately be something to look at. Click them, read the descritpion, and post in this thread if they are firearm related. You can follow examples set in the earlier thread (see post #15 for example).

 

Can I put you down for a few?

Yeah, watch them real close. We've got a pretty good law in that regard, we sure as heck don't want to be giving anything up!! Good catch Lou!!!

P.S. and Cullerton's the sponsor. Watch them real close. Has anyone alerted .45 Superman about the activity here? He usually does the cataloging of bills and rating them. Or is he on sabatical??

And, Madigan's sponsoring them. I've got my own ideas of what's up, but I'll keep them off the open board for right now.

Good catches Rods!!! I think all Mauser wants it the bill number and a brief description just as you've done. They'll go on a list to watch and if they start to move, or get amended to substantial meaning, we'll know to make some calls.

 

Again, nice job!! Be careful though, if you get good at this Mauser will start assigning in blocks of 300!!!

No worries, toes have not been stepped on but I do appreciate the reminder on how to count.

Here's what I saw in the SB 3101 - 3300 batch I took. There are a couple of shell bills that refer to the administrative code but no language that concerns me at the moment. I noted the numbers and will check on them every few days to make sure they don't do an end run.

 

I'll work on the HB batch later tonight or first thing in the morning.

 

 

SB 3205 - SHELL BILL Creates the Law Enforcement Act. Contains only a short title provision. Sen. James F. Clayborne, Jr.

 

SB 3206 - SHELL BILL Creates the Law Enforcement Act. Contains only a short title provision. Sen. James F. Clayborne, Jr.

 

SB 3207 - SHELL BILL Amends the Environmental Protection Act. (possible use for a bullet type ban) Sen. James F. Clayborne, Jr.

SB 3218 - CRIM CD-GANGS-NO FIREARM (same bill he ran last year with more restrictions and penalties) Sen. Dan Kotowski

 

SB 3219 - FOID CARD ACT-PRIVATE SALE (private sales only thru FFL with background check) Sen. Dan Kotowski
