Here we go

Here we go!

It worries me the Straus showed up in is burnt orange tie....

That was quick! SB11 passed third reading!

SB 11 Passes!

Wow, amazingly fast! I was so shocked that I missed the final tally!

So what are the next steps for SB 11? It goes to committee between House and Senate, right? Then what?

It goes to concurrence vote in Senate. Where concurrence will probably fail. Then to conference committee.

It's Wednesday May 27th today... so yeah, stick a fork in SB11.

Sorry a bit behind here, you mean "fork" = "done" (passed) or (dead)?
and if dead, why? what have I missed now? if House passed the Senate Version, it should be good, right?

It's dead as in it is out of time.

Dead.

The clock would run out before a conference committee could vote on it.

Campus Carry is likely dead.

Because there were changes made to the bill in the House and the Senate is highly unlikely to concur with the changes due to their nature, the bill would have to go to conference committee. Since the last day of the session is the 31st, there isn't enough time for the changes to be made without the conference committee report being filibustered in either the House or Senate.

The House amendments to SB11 are not going to be accepted by the Senate. In particular the amendment that forces Campus Carry on private universities. This means SB11 goes to conference committee. It's unlikely it gets out of that committee in time to get voted on by both chambers before the session ends.

While this can happen, we don't know that it will. Gotta keep hope!
Many called SB11 last night at 10pm and look what happened. j/s

The house version was passed with amendments. It needs to go back to the senate for concurrence, and if not concurred then to a conference committee. I believe the deadline for this to happen is this sunday, which is why some are saying that it (could) die. I don't see the need for pessimism as many have said a few times during this session that SB11 was going to die along with HB910.
