Re: House Judiciary vote on Pro-Gun bills Tues 3/18!
Thank you. I thanked her for reading and analyzing voter mail and that I appreciated her questions. I rewrote what you had, and then added a little personal experience in how a wrong diagnosis can follow and disrupt a person (my nephew). Short, sweet, and to the point. I figure they don't have time for long-winded explanations. I really do appreciate that she took the time to ask the question. It was refreshing!

Awesome. Did any of the other bills (1091, 1043) pass as well?

Re: House Judiciary vote on Pro-Gun bills Tues 3/18!
Here's how pretty much ALL bills get passed at both the state and federal level:
1. Bill is submitted by a legislator, and designated either a House Bill (HB) or a Senate Bill (SB) depending on whether the sponsor is a Rep or Senator.
2. Bill is reviewed in it's respective committee, and is either voted YES, NO, or tabled
3. If voted YES, bill is moved out of committee for a full vote on the floor
4. During consideration on the floor, the bill can be amended
5. If the bill passes, it then moves on to the other half of the legislature (so a HB then moves to the Senate, and a SB moves to the House)
6. Repeat steps 2-4.
7. If the bill passes in the 2nd half of the legislature, it moves to the Governor's/President's desk for signature.
Note there's a bunch of details and parliamentary procedures specific to each side of the legislature (House and Senate), but the above is the general gist of things.
So to put this into perspective, HB921 and HB2011 are currently at Step 3.
EDIT: HB2011 is at Step3. HB921 was tabled and not discussed at today's House Judiciary Committee meeting.Last edited by ChamberedRound; March 18th, 2014 at 02:26 PM.
