The bill will die at session end, perhaps to be reintroduced in the next Congress, likely to await the same fate.

Do nothing Republican Congress strikes again.

50 state LEOSA seems to be working well for LEOs.

LEOSA introduced by Nancy Pelosi and is also more Federal overreach.

Driver's licenses are not recognized between states because of any federal law or regulation. Nor is the granting of a Driver's License an "official act", like a court order or marriage, etc. where the Full Faith and Credit clause is relevant. So arguably neither is a LTC. Driver's licenses are recognized based on the law of the state in which you are driving. It so happens that all 50 states recognize each other's licenses under MOST circumstances. The only place where Feds are involved is in relation to regulating some aspects of Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL) when they are used in interstate commerce.

Criminal law supposed to be under the purview of the states with minor exceptions for interstate criminal acts and offenses against the federal government. There really is little constitutional justification for most aspects of the federal gun control act of 1968, but that battle is lost...for the time being. That's why I really hesitate to support a nationwide reciprocity as more federalization of thing best left to the states. Michael Burgess is my congressman and I would like to hear his reasoning for not being a co-sponsor, if he has even consciously made a decision. Maybe I'll e-mail his office.
