With the exception of HB2265 which passed out of committee 3/13/2013, the firearm bills we've been watching in Judiciary have now been reassigned a 3/20/2013 hearing date..

 

Those who were watching House floor debate yesterday will recall that the audio/video feed went quiet for a brief period just as HB2265 was called. It appears from the status page that some debate may have occurred as status has been updated to reflect "Held on Calendar Order of Second Reading".

 

 

HB807, HB808, HB809, and HB817 are new to the ILGA thread today. These shell bills were on the printed calendar yesterday and are pending amendments. Given the current attempts by some factions within the legislature to avoid public comment on gun control, I am now listing these publicly in order to shine a brighter light on the process.

 

 

 

 

The House is scheduled for 10:00 AM today. The Senate is not in.

I would say be cautious today, reason: It's Friday, and it wouldn't surprise me if some shenanigans happened.

 

We all know they get stuff done on Fridays, and like to move it along quickly. My personal opinion is that there could be some debauchery today.

Anyone feel a "win one for the gipper" coming on today with Obama being back in the city of blood? Fresh shell bills and an early session doesn't feel right. Could Madigan try to win a Tony award nomination today? Hoping a few bad voters are excused today, that should limit their chances of 60. Wondering if the one excused yesterday was the reason they didn't bring out a magazine ban again.

Hb 1157, amendment infringement 9 (not listed) looks like a assault weapons ban. http://ilga.gov/legi...AID=12&Session=

 

It says storage,

amendment 9 violates Heller... specifically this quote from the majority opinion:

"the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional."

Looking like this wont be available for the bluestream feed. Doesn't have it starting until noon, past few times they've started earlier than the feed start they haven't had it.

What would happen in the event of a tie during a vote? Say 116 are present and the vote splits 58-58.

It depends on how you mean that.

 

Bills need a minimum 60 votes (sometimes 71) in order to pass.

 

Amendments have been passing (more accurately have been adopted) on plurality votes during the recent Weekly Orders of Business.

Meant more with the plurality we have been seeing of late. Been a while since we've seen a gun bill voted on, been nothing but amendments which I fear is what the new lot of shell bills may be for. Try to make some of the passed amendments individual bills?

Let me make sure I understand this correctly.

 

An amendment can be attached to a bill with a majority of the vote of those present, so a 59 to 58 vote would attach an amendment to a bill, but the bill requires at least 60 votes to pass out of the House to the Senate, or in the case of a Senate bill being voted on to the Gov. desk.

 

But we need 71 votes to override a potential veto by the Gov, which is why 71 is the magic number for us on a carry bill.

 

Did I get that right?

Pretty sure this is right...

 

You need 71 votes if the bill preempts home rule to initially pass to the Senate. If there is no home rule preemption - you only need 60.

 

If the Governor veto's it - it goes back to the house. Then you need 71 votes to override.

You stole my follow up kind of. Our bill starts in the house and passed to the senate and then on to the governor. The governor vetos it and sends it back for vote. Who does the 71 have to come from, senate, house or both. And the 71 votes would need to be ayes in favor of the veto or 71 against it?

 

Maybe I should go sift through the how a bill becomes a law link.

Someone did an extract of just e-mail addresses from the 98th General Assembly Contact Information spreadsheet.

 

Can anyone point me to that list?

 

We have an updated list of representatives' e-mails right?

 

I'm looking for the latest greates version of that list... I'm not asking for it to be cut & pasted here in this thread, just looking for a link to it.

 

Thanks.
