Alright now I'm out. Good night good folks!

[gregsauls]

They just voted and engrossed SB11 ? How'd that happen ?

Didn't I hear also that an amendment was adopted to bring in private institutions??

So this must go back to the Senate for concur?? right??

Yes. Hopefully they can do that like tomorrow or Thursday.

101 Ayes, 47 Nay = 148
There's 98 republicans and 52 democrats in the house. So at least 3 democrats voted in favor.

Does this mean Chas has egg on his face?

But this is a good bill. Older students walking near campus after dark (the only ones who will have CHLs and guns anyway) will be able to CCW to protect themselves... IF the universities don't opt out, per the amendments.

Does it have to make it through a third reading now?

Yes - 3rd reading tomorrow.

For people asking about the amendments, they're out here:

So reading through Amendment 1 it's not as bad as I thought. I hope the Senate concurs and we get SB11 signed into law. If universities abuse this and ban 99% of buildings we can undo or adjust that amendment in the next session.

[The Wall]

Will somebody please state, in plain language, what "engrossment" means?

I think it means as a whole or in it's entirety. Bill plus amendments.

[sig-sog]

What good is this bill with the opt out?

[Salty1]

Does this mean Chas has egg on his face?

Not at all, but it may mean that I will have to cut Strauss a bit of slack......
