mauserme Posted June 19, 2013 at 05:31 AM Author Posted June 19, 2013 at 05:31 AM When we last met on 5/31/2013, the Spring Session ended with passage of HB183 - Firearms Concealed Carry Act and HB1189, a relatively toothless requirement to confirm the validity of a purchaser's FOID card before completing a sale, and a requirement to report a lost or stolen firearm. Interestingly, the latter requirement applies only to FOID card holders, inexplicably failing to include those illegally in possession of a firearm from this mandate. HB1346, amended to become a magazine ban, failed that day 28/31/0 The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon and the Senate for 11:30 AM. Although motions remain on HB1157 and HB3217, keeping them on the regular session calendar, it is very unlikely we would see any action on these today.

Interestingly, the latter requirement applies only to FOID card holders, inexplicably failing to include those illegally in possession of a firearm from this mandate. It is not inexplicable. It would be unconstitutional to require people prohibited from possessing firearms to report they had one in their possession as that would be a clear violation of the 5th.
largefarva Posted June 19, 2013 at 10:56 AM Posted June 19, 2013 at 10:56 AM Is there a time limit on how long a special session can last? IE a limit of something like two weeks or can they go on indefinitely until a bill is passed?

LOL I thought of that too, but then decided a little poetic license would be far more useful.

That is what it is costing us. http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/local/article_0b33d962-d86e-11e2-aae1-0019bb30f31a.html
Tvandermyde Posted June 19, 2013 at 12:09 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 12:09 PM the session will be "alive" until the close out siene die at the end of the term
TyGuy Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:35 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:35 PM $40K a day? I'll gladly pay that if they fix the pension probelm (which they WON'T) which costs us $17 million a day. How I feel about today's session:
Drylok Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:41 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:41 PM I wish Madigan would just tell Quinn to do the damn AV on 183 while they're in this special session so we can override it and get it the heck over with
TTIN Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:48 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 01:48 PM Doesn't HB1189 take care of SB851?

cls74 Posted June 19, 2013 at 03:37 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 03:37 PM Dan Duffy comment, he doesn't sound enthused or optimistic Dan Duffy1 hour ago · Special Session Day: The Governor has called us into special session today. It will cost taxpayers an additional $43,000 (a new teacher’s annual salary) to bring the whole General Assembly to Springfield. Will we solve the Pension problem today and vote on a Pension Reform bill…or will we just sit, form a “committee” to waste more taxpayer money, and then return home?? That is up to the Democrat majority leaders. What do you think we will do? (I will keep you updated as we progress)
mauserme Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:29 PM Author Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:29 PM Three weeks go by and I'm out of practice. The House and Senate start times were reversed in my original posts, and the Senate is now convening.
mauserme Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:39 PM Author Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:39 PM The Senate stands in recess to the call of the chair for the purpose of Democrat and Republican caucuses. They will reconvene for floor action after about one hour.
Phatty Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:41 PM Posted June 19, 2013 at 04:41 PM Interestingly, the latter requirement applies only to FOID card holders, inexplicably failing to include those illegally in possession of a firearm from this mandate.The law would probably be unconstitutional if it also applied to non-FOID card holders illegally in possession of the firearm. Laws that require a person to inform the government that they have committed a crime are usually found to be in violation of the 5th Amendment's prohibition against forced self-incrimination. If the law required a person to inform the police that they had lost a firearm that they were illegally possessing in the first place, that law would be forcing a person to be a witness against themselves as to the illegal possession of a firearm.
