I have been under the impression that it was part of 229, sorry for the confusion.
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?
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.
House is back. Anyone have a breakdown of the votes for SB229 in the senate? Also what were some of the arguments used to oppose it? I will still be sending emails out to those who opposed it. Education never ends.
Unless someone took a screenshot, we'll have to wait for that to be posted. The video of the session should be available tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
IIRC, the 10 votes against 229 in the Senate were all Dems, except Wyss. I know I saw Rogers, Skinner, Lanane, Breaux, Broden, Wyss, and Tallian. Not sure about the other three.
Blessings,
Bill
Now....to fix this little problem next time.
I'm guessing it used to be a misdemeanor?
After reading the bill, it looks to me like LTCH holders now are exempt from the section that prohibits possession on school buses and school property? That's a bonus for us, isn't it?
