I don't think it is necessary to ask Paxton to delay opinions about SB 11/SB 273. He seems to be doing that without being asked.
AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton should wait to issue an opinion on how to interpret Texas' new campus carry law until after the entire process is complete, a state senator said Thursday.
Entire process is complete? Must be something explained in the full article. I thought the process was complete - bill drafted, presented to the legislature, voted, signed. You know, passed into law. Is there some other full process?
The process being referred to is the process by which public universities can designate certain areas as off limits for concealed carry. There are several current threads running that discuss the particulars regarding sb11's implementation at different universities.
Yes, have been following those threads. But apparently I'm still confused then. Why should the AG wait to issue his opinion about application of the new law. Wouldn't that opinion be presumed to help the universities understand what they can and cannot do?
The request to wait was made by one of the bill's opponents. The bill's author had already asked the AG's office for clarification so that universities don't stall by enacting overly restrictive measures that will takes months to correct.
