Little of note occurred in the House yesterday. HB4296 Concelaed Carry – Forest Preserve as called but then taken out of the record, perhaps indicating the sponsor's hope to pass this new ban will not go as smoothly as she thought.

 

Today we see a previously unscheduled Police & Fire Committee hearing with HB2769 Safety Tech (Microstamping) posted for this morning. The hearing has been canceled, but it hints to the possibility of future movement on this bill.

 

 

 

The House is scheduled for 12:30 PM today. The Senate is not in.

 

I'll be away from the forum for the early parts of sessions tomorrow, if they start on time.

 

 

 

Next Days Scheduled

 

House: 3/4/2022
Senate: 3/8/2022

House Judiciary – Criminal Committee – 11:00 AM Virtual Room 2

 

HB4166 Crim Cd – Pepper Spray – Age

 

HA1 to HB4166

 

HA1 pretty completely "Ill-annoys" the original bill.

 

The original bill removed the age limit at which people could legally carry pepper spray. Previously people under 18 were criminals if they possessed pepper spray.

 

The amendment restores criminality to people under 14 if they possess pepper spray, requires people 14-17 to get a parent's/guardian's permission, and unconditionally criminalizes anyone who provides pepper spray to anyone under 18. Bizarrely, it would become a UUW to provide pepper spray to minors only if the spray is designed to be used for self-defense.

 

So you may give your 16-year-old daughter permission to carry pepper spray, but neither you nor anyone else may provide her with pepper spray. I guess she has to make it herself. Would that make it "ghost" pepper spray? Does this amendment create a market in Illinois for pepper spray "kits?"

 

That last part is totally new. It was never a UUW before to provide pepper spray to your underage daughter (or anyone else).

Back when my daughter ran cross country in jr.high and high school she would run long sessions in the morning and evening alone.After talking about it,we decided that allowing her to carry pepper spray would be best for her own safety.I taught her how and how not to use it.If ever asked where she had gotten it she would say she took it from my desk .Illinois and their stupid laws can go pound sand.The age restriction on it has always been stupid.As said HA1 pretty much nullifies the intent of HB4166.

HB5445 Implementing Firearms Restrain was called.

 

The sponsor, Representative Stoneback, proceeded to debate HB5574 Sexual Harassment Settlement.  When she realized the Chair had called her restraining order bill, rather than requesting that it be taken out of the record she stated that is was out of the record.

 

The Chair obliged, and HB5445 is out of the record.
