Sorry to start another thread on this topic but things are reportedly moving very fast on this one and I didn't want it to get lost in the clutter like the original pistols thread.
I heard a few minutes ago (0930) that this bill has been placed on the Senate Daily Debate Calendar. I'm asking for clarification because I don't see where the bill has even been through the subcommittee/full committee process yet so I don't know if it is even possible for this to happen. Some days the computer system that keeps track of all the legislative activity is notoriously slow so at this point I can not independently confirm this rumor. This could very well be "hallway talk" which isn't official but usually comes to pass.
As a review: HF716 passed the House last Thursday on a straight party line vote and was introduced to the Senate that afternoon, it was sent to the Senate Natural Resources and Environment Committee Chair to assign a sub committee and last I knew that's where it still is.
I will work on getting more info and pass it along as I do. Hopefully this is just a bad rumor and we will have a chance to make our voices heard before the Senate rubber stamps it.
EDIT: the legislature adjourns at noon on Thursdays and doesn't convene again until the following Monday at 1300. So nothing official, such as assigning sub committees, happens until Monday.
