Good Thursday Morning, Fellow Seekers.
So remember that NRA-backed gun bill that allows the NRA and others to sue municipalities that have gun ordinances that are tougher than those in existing state law?

Well, thanks to a clerical mix-up, Gov. Tom Corbett actually signed the wrong version of the bill into law last week, and now it looks like he'll have to do it again.

So here's the thing: As they move through the legislative maw, bills are frequently updated and modified.

And when that happens, they get what are known as new "printer's numbers" so that lawmakers can tell the difference between the various iterations.

Corbett actually signed an earlier version of the bill into law, not the one that the House sent him during the waning hours of last month's legislative session.

Once officials were alerted to the error, the state House briefly gaveled into session on Wednesday to sign the correct version of the bill, and then kicked it over to the Senate for its signature, putting it into position for yet another gubernatorial John Hancock.

We're all human. Mistakes happen. They figured it out and they will make it right.

That's weird, I just googled "pa state code" and "mulligan", but didn't come up with anything.

Yep, (re)signed in the House yesterday and the Senate today. Onward to the Governor.

Thanks, for posting this.
I was mystified with new legislative activity email updates, regarding, the House and Senate signing a bill that, a week ago, had the Governor's signature, and, this week seemed to be lacking all the approvals.

My homebrew must be too strong. Did I just read that? Fricken McDonalds workers are everywhere.

I think it's funny Corbett inadvertently gave everyone the finger when he sign his last budget as PA Governor earlier this year.
