2022 Legislative Session Thread

[tbhausen]

I remember reading somewhere that they can call a special session and vote to override instead of waiting for the next session.

Unless he vetoes at the last moment, forcing it into next year?

 

[gregr]

Within a week or two we will know, because it will have made it to his desk, and seven days will have passed.

Any way it can still be tracked to see where it`s at and when it hits his desk?

Good question… @El Conquistador

 

[cbhausen]

They don’t have to wait until next year to call a special session.

 

[tbhausen]

I would love to see them do that instantly and really stick it to Holcomb if he vetoes.

Is this the same bill that had last-minute shenanigans?

The VAWA. I guess I could have put it in that thread...

I heard something about this yesterday, none of us in the NRA booth had any SA. I'll reach out to my POC tomorrow and see if he has any SA.

Need to rename the below linked site to TELL Eric (to sign HB 1296)

MONTGOMERY – Governor Kay Ivey on Thursday signed House Bill 272, known as the constitutional carry bill, into law, defending law abiding Alabamians’ Second Amendment rights.

“Unlike states who are doing everything in their power to make it harder for law abiding citizens, Alabama is reaffirming our commitment to defending our Second Amendment rights,” said Governor Ivey. “I have always stood up for the rights of law abiding gunowners, and I am proud to do that again today.”

In April 2019 at the NRA Annual Meeting of Members you said, “Removing any and all barriers for lawful carry in our state is significant for the many Hoosier gun owners who want to protect themselves and others.”

In 2019 you sounded a lot like Governor Ivey did on Thursday.

Sign HB 1296 into law.

How this reads to me: "I heard something about this yesterday, none of us in the National Rifle Association booth had any Springfield Armory. I'll reach out to my People Of Color tomorrow and see if he has any Springfield Armory."

If the VP is such a VIP shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT

[gregr]

Accusing NRA of selling us out based on something someone heard that someone else might have said, because of something they thought they read...is not helpful. IF NRA "sold us out", and I have a hard time believing they did, they should hear from us, but let`s have hard facts before we gather torches and pitchforks.

Was that successfully changed recently? I thought the entire reason Holcomb was allowed to rule this state like a damn dictator all through 2020 was that the legislature was prohibited from calling their own special sessions.

Not sure if it can be tracked to his desk or not, but under bill actions on HB1296 it shows it as being signed by the speaker of the house and the president pro tem of the senate. Now a review by the attorney general (iirc), then it's on his desk.

 

[JEBland]

Bill=>Enrolled Act=>chop by Speaker of the House=>chop by President of Senate=>Attorney General review=>Presented to Gov.

Based on KF's summary, I think we're waiting on it to finished being reviewed by the Attorney General (whose office is a big pro on this bill, and the senate committee abused that opportunity to try to embarrass and attack his office).

Like, Timjoebillybob said, it seems like the House Speaker and Senate President have signed it: http://iga.in.gov/legislative/2022/bills/house/1296

The 2A Project posted this link (It'll be listed as HEA 1296):
https://www.in.gov/gov/newsroom/2022-bill-watch/

We can see when it hits the governor's desk and when he has to sign it by, too.

Thank you.

 

[JEBland]

Thank you.

Just to emphasize that not everyone on that committee attacked his office. Just the people who were so aggressive against the bill.

[Not directed at Gregr] I know there's a lot of "I'll never vote for an R again!" Being thrown around, but those who voted against the gutting ammendment and in favor of HB 1296 still deserve our support, IMO... even if others in the party turned against law abiding gun owners.

I believe you are correct here because I just saw where GOP lawmakers are asking Governor Holcomb to call a special session if SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade this summer to change Indiana’s abortion laws.
