[Scutter01]

Taylor was a mess. He had no idea what he was arguing. Entirely from emotion.

[brotherbill3]

It's times like this it really sucks to be on a data-limited internet plan.

 

[Trigger Time]

now what?

Needs to pass the house and then off to the governors desk

 

[brotherbill3]

Now it goes to the House for a vote ...

 

[rbMPSH12]

now what?

House has to vote after it returns from recess. But I'm sure it will be no problem passing it in the house. The big thing was getting it through conference committee. There's been support for it all along in the house.

Needs to pass the house and then off to the governors desk

When does this happen?

When does this happen?

Hopefully tonight. I don't know what the official review timeline is before it hits the governors desk. Can't remember

i think the president pro tem of the senate and the speaker of the house have to both sign it first too

Crap! Missed the live stream in the Senate. Great news, though! So, since it has passed the Senate, do we get to see the text of the Bill? What's the passed Bill look like?

 

[MemphisR32]

Passed the senate!!

Am I missing something? What happened to the roaming school zone part of the bill?

 

[Bill of Rights]

Am I missing something? What happened to the roaming school zone part of the bill?

The roaming school zone will be dead as soon as it passes. Edited in below:

"
SECTION 7. IC 35-47-9-2, AS AMENDED BY P.L.172-2013,
SECTION 13, AND AS AMENDED BY P.L.158-2013, SECTION
601, IS CORRECTED AND AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS
[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2014]: Sec. 2. (a) Except as provided in
subsection (b), a person who knowingly or intentionally possesses a
firearm:

(1) in or on school property; or
[strike](2) in or on property that is being used by a school for a school function; or [/strike]
[strike](3)[/strike] (2) on a school bus; commits a [strike]Class D[/strike] Level 6 felony.
​

"
The line that used to be #2, "in or on property being used..." was the roaming school zone.

I do appreciate Taylor's comment that he would have supported the bill if it contained language that teachers carry on school property and I assume he meant in the classroom. His other comments were a bit of the wall.

The roaming school zone will be dead as soon as it passes. Hang on, I'll edit that section into this post.

I have been under the impression that it was part of 229, sorry for the confusion.

Earlier people were commenting about how they have never gotten a personal response from their reps. I've had the same experiences with ONE exception. State Rep Cindy Kirchoffer. She personaly responds and is very pro gun!
