Senate Bill 11 on campus concealed carry passed with many changes from the original bill. The final bill allows the CEO of a community college (after consulting with students, faculty, and staff) to create reasonable rules and/or regulations regarding the carrying of concealed weapons on a college campus. These rules cannot generally prohibit or have the effect of generally prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons on a college campus. The rules and regulations developed must be approved by the Board of Trustees by a 2/3 vote, published on the college’s website, communicated to the College community, and submitted to the Legislature. The implementation of the bill does not take effect until August 1, 2017 for community colleges (August 1, 2016 for universities).

i. I anticipate that [college name] will begin our consultation period with students, faculty, staff, and other constituents during the fall 2015 and spring 2016 semesters. More details will follow later in this calendar year.

Upon receiving a bill, the governor has 10 days in which to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature. If the governor vetoes the bill and the legislature is still in session, the bill is returned to the house in which it originated with an explanation of the governor's objections. A two-thirds majority in each house is required to override the veto. If the governor neither vetoes nor signs the bill within 10 days, the bill becomes a law. If a bill is sent to the governor within 10 days of final adjournment, the governor has until 20 days after final adjournment to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature.

Technically, if he doesn't sign the bill, it still will become law.

Back to the house or the Governor?

To the House tomorrow. Session begins at 2:00pm.

Chas.

Any reason to believe it will not make it out of the house?

This is a personal opinion only. A filibuster would only be 10 hours long, if our bill is the first one up.
