FYI, HB 47 and 48 are being reheard by the committee tomorrow. Might come out of committee tomorrow. I don't see HB 700 (and still can't find the substitute bill).

I wanna see HB700's substitute very badly.

Maybe write Lavender? I don't know why it isn't on the net.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that standard operating procedure is for a committee substitute to be posted as part of the committee report, which don't exist until a vote is taken and a report is filed.

Seeing as how the committee met on this awhile ago and still no vote, perhaps we will never see it.

HURRAH

HB 47 Author: Flynn | White | Cook
Last Action: 04/04/2013 H Reported favorably as substituted
Caption: Relating to a handgun proficiency course that is taken to obtain or renew a concealed handgun license.

HB 48 Author: Flynn
Last Action: 04/04/2013 H Reported favorably as substituted
Caption: Relating to the procedure under which a person may renew a license to carry a concealed handgun.

The substitute HB 48 looks like no class for renewal, just send in a form.

Where did you read the substitute?

It appears the system operator is moving the bills over from (in committee) to (out of committee). The substitute is gone but it looks like files are popping back up every few minutes.Try here in a few minutes.

Actually, it looks like the system is maybe messed up now. That is a different bill.

I think this may be the substitute but its labeled Introduced version

It's all screwed up. If you read the committee report entries it has to do with cross border checkpoints (2011).

Thanks for the info above...but I will just forget about it. I am good till 2018 anyway..........If I live that long........now where did I put my cigarettes?

Which bill # is this referring to?
