All Hell broke loose this past week as the various committees had to pass their bills out by Friday or they would die. It looks like every one of the bills we’ve been following is moving forward!! In addition, each of the bills was amended before receiving a “Do Pass”. The links do not connect to the amendments or the amended bill. When we know what the amendments are, we’ll post here.
A.B. 91, the “explosives bill” was heard in the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee on May 15th. The bill was amended and given a “Do Pass”.
A.B. 95, the anti confiscation bill was heard in the Senate Judiciary committee on May 11th. The committee took testimony from just two proponents, Assemblywoman Valerie Weber the sponsor of the bill and Art Dixon a friend of SECTION 11. In an almost unprecedented move the committee voted the bill to the floor of the Senate with a “Do Pass” recommendation. The vote was unanimous!!
A.B. 107, the “dangerous knife” in schools bill was heard by the Senate Judiciary committee on May 15th. The bill was amended and given a “Do Pass”. Let’s hope the amendment modifies the 2” limitation.
A.B. 194, the bill that changes possession of a firearm during a court issued order of protection in a domestic violence situation. This bill was heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 15th. The bill was amended and given a “Do Pass”.
A.B 259, NDOW accounting bill (formerly a Mountain Lion hunting bill!) was sent out of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee May 4th with a “Do Pass” recommendation. It is waiting on a floor vote.
A.B. 343, the residency requirement change for discounted hunting and fishing licenses. It had its only hearing in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee on April 26th, but nothing further has been done.
S.B. 92, the elimination of the pre-emption exemption for Clark County that was amended to help everyone but the citizens of Clark County in the Senate, was heard in the Assembly Government Affairs Committee on May 16th. The committee amended it, again, and it was given a “Do Pass”. My only hope is that when we see the amendments that the Government Affairs Committee tacked on we will see the bill restored to it’s original intent, the elimination of the despised “Blue Card” requirements.
S.B. 237, the reciprocity bill with the elimination of certain requirements for CCW’s. This bill was heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee on May 18th. Your voices were heard! As of Thursday, May 17th, this bill was dead! Impassioned requests made to the committee and it’s chairman, Bernie Anderson, paid off!! The committee amended the bill and gave it a “Do Pass”!! Let’s hope that the amendments aren’t deal breakers.

S.B. 354, changing to a Category E felony the possession of a firearm on school campuses, etc. This bill was heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee on May 18th, amended and given a “Do Pass”.
All-in-all it was a FABULOUS week!! Now we’ve got to watch the floor agendas in the Senate and Assembly to be certain that our bills move forward. We have only until May 25th for passage or they will be lost. Keep watching SECTION 11 for the current status of these bills.
WE MUST REMAIN EVER VIGILANT…EVER WATCHFUL
