Not sure if this means they reached agreement with the House conference committee members or not.

Watching some newly installed sod take root in my yard is faster than this!

must be a better way to do this stuff.

For 99% of new laws (since most of them further restrict liberty instead of advancing it), I want it to be a slow and difficult process. I don't want new laws passed at the drop of a hat.

but this is a far cry fro m a drop of a hat.

There was a bill which failed, I believe, that did much the same thing as this amendment. The troubling part is using the amendment process to get something done that didn't pass muster before. Especially at the last minute. I don't know anything about Sen. Carona except he puts himself above us "plain folks" and has no problem jeopardizing a bill that has had great support in both houses. While I agree legislation should been done carefully and cautiously, this is not a process I support. We all know even if HB508 doesn't pass he'd get off scott free if he was caught violating an improper 30.06 where as us plain folks would be spending time, money to fight an arrest and probably some time in jail. And during that time our weapon would be taken and probably never returned w/o a lot of frustration, attorney costs, etc.

I see they are still assigning conferees to Bills so what happens after that action? Do they report back to the full body and if so what is the timeline or deadline.

Must have been quick all I say was recognition speeches. What has happened with HB 508? I didn't even see it on the calendar today.
