The House still has to vote on it and the time to do that is running out. While Gov. Abbot could add the combined bill to a special session, assuming that he is willing to call one, the odds of any of this passing seem longer than before. I do realize that a lot of games are won in the closing seconds. This session has definitely been a game from a gun related bill perspective.baldeagle wrote:It won't go through the Calendar Committee. The bill already passed the House. Once a bill has passed the House and been sent to the Senate, if the Senate amends the bill, the House has to pass the amended bill, but it does not go through the Calendar Committee. This is an end run around Strauss.Papa_Tiger wrote:I'm trying to look at this somewhat optimistically.
I have to believe there is the support for campus carry in the House however it will never make it to the floor with Strauss as the gatekeeper of the Calendars Committee.
The Senate already approved campus carry, so it isn't too much of a stretch to see it added as an amendment to the HB 910.
As I said previously, this looks like an end run around Strauss. I applaud people for finding ways of working within the system to achieve their desired result.
