Good luck!

 

Based on a quick read, aside from the fact that you were denied any sort of hearing to state your case for keeping your license (or being able to apply as a non-resident), is one of the goals to "shrink" the state's definition of substantially similar?

 

The main thing that disqualifies most states, at least in the eyes of the ISP, are the mental health reporting requirements... and (IIRC) the thing that disqualifies Florida is that they don't report all voluntary admissions for mental health treatment; they only report voluntary admissions that result from an INvoluntary psych exam.

This is so exciting, Josh! I remember well when you first floated the idea, and considering the help this could provide to many others. Glad to see this moving forward now. Yeah!!!

@Glock23 - yes

 

While Florida doesn't report ALL, it does deny for ALL voluntary and based on some filings today over at Culp vs Madigan, the cases will eventually go hand in hand I believe.

Here's hoping you can ram it down their throats and make them choke on it.

 

In a purely professional capacity of course. ;)


You will not 'rise to the occasion', you will default to your level of training - plan accordingly.

Despite their rallying around us at election time, honoring only 8 hours of Illinois' 40+ hour law enforcement class towards a 16 hour requirement shows the contempt that our elected officials hold us in.

For the curious amongst us, are you challenging the "substantially similar" language, or simply the notion that Florida isn't considered substantially similar by the ISP?
"The point of [so-called "assault weapon" bans]...is not to ban firearms that are dangerous, it's to ban firearms that gun owners want to own because the people making the laws don't like gun owners. If we want to buy non-semiauto AR-style rifles, they'll ban those too, and for the same reason."

Wow, that filing is a thing of beauty. I actually lost count of the ways that the ISP violated rules, laws, and procedures based on what was written in that document.

Best of luck to you, another front they have to try to defend. I would have approached the argument differently but hope it works out for you.


Illinois' FCCA is a prime example of the maxim that sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Its targeting the violations of the Administrative Code a well as the substantially similar wording.

 

There is substantial backing of this suit although I won't name names at the moment and they are the ones that helped word it :)

 

The Lead Attorney, Carl Draper is the best in Illinois when it comes to Administrative Code law, most notable case was against IDOT for firing 16 workers due to republican affiliation (Whitlow vs. The Illinois Department of Transportation)

This case seems like a backstop if Culp fails. If Culp wins, this case should be moot.

If Culp wins, this one will be moot, however this is in State Court and most likely won't make it to federal court because of the attack angle.  We estimate this case to be through State Court by April 2016 if not sooner

30 days is coming up fairly quick.  I suspect we'll have a motion for extension this week sometime.
