mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:08 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:08 PM The House Judiciary - Criminal Committee is coming to order.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:12 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:12 PM The Committee will not be voting on any bills today. The Chair wishes the members a Happy New Year, thanks staff for their past year of work, an explains procedures going forward.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:14 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:14 PM He continues by stating that the subject matter they intend to take up is the most divisive both locally and nationally. He did not notice that gun owners have not changed. His party's view of gun ownership has changed.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:15 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:15 PM He speaks of a "mass incarceration crisis" without acknowledging that it is the laws they make, including anti-gun laws, that have caused that crisis.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:16 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:16 PM Their plan is to avoid rush. They "plan to slow down, to speed up", whatever that means.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:19 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:19 PM He speaks of collaboration, of making the effort to work together. He may have missed his party forcing bills though the process with no input form the minority party, and very little input from members of his own party who were not included in writing several thousand page bills in the wee hours of the night.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:23 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:23 PM Special attention will be given to crime and violence, including all the factors that go into crime and violence. They will collaborate with other committees that address all the social determinants that go into crime and violence, including education, housing, labor, etc.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:27 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:27 PM Sponsors should expect a subject matter hearing on their bills, followed by a presentation in a substantive hearing.
mauserme Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:35 PM Author Posted January 18, 2022 at 09:35 PM Following the optimism that has become rather formulaic at the start of a new Jud - Criminal Committee, the committee stands adjourned.

mauserme Posted January 20, 2022 at 02:56 PM Author Posted January 20, 2022 at 02:56 PM A quick update on the House Police & Fire Committee and House Mental Health & Addiction Committee that had been scheduled to meet this morning, 1/20/2022. Both have been cancelled.
