Yesterday, the three House Amendments on SB1966 Fix the FOID Act were held in the Senate Judiciary Committee, perhaps to resurface today. Good work to all who filed witness slips in opposition. We will stay vigilant through the rest of this final scheduled day of the 2019 Spring Session, for possible new committee action on this bill.

 

The House is scheduled for 9:00 AM today and the Senate for 11:00 AM.

 

I should be here for part of the morning floor debate but have an appointment that will partially conflict with the afternoon. Please jump in where you can.

So what happens if the bill never gets out of committee / or voted on by the end of the day ?

Assuming Spring Session isn't extended for some reason, we could see the bill resurface in the Fall Veto Session or similar language in another bill next Spring. But, if they don't have the votes now they might have to rethink a lot of it (don't necessarily take that as a prediction about the votes).

Since the bill as passed by the house says "effective immediately", it would need a 3/5 majority vote to be passed after 5/31 per the IL constitution. Thus, to pass it in veto session, they'd either have to revise the effective date to Jan 1st or muster 71 votes in the house rather than the 62 they got yesterday.

And Abortion, Fix da FOID, Marijuana, casino, immigrations . . . going to be a busy legislature.

 

Mostly focused on violating Federal Laws and the Constitution.

 

I cannot stand how they leave everything to the last possible minute!

 

 

They hope everyone will be in a hurry and vote without thinking about what they're doing. Oh, wait... don't they do that anyway?
