HB 0995/SB 1171 Parks


Recommended Posts

Made it out of civil Justice yesterday.  This one may go as John Stevens is the sponsor in the Senate, and he is an Establishment guy. 

Goins' bill is getting kicked to the curb and they are letting Stevens and Harrison take credit. 

It can not be because Harrison is the House Sponsor, he has tinkled on firearms issues forever, was in fact instrumental in killing Goins' bill last year.

How is the House bill going to survive the usual graveyard, the House Finance Ways and Means Committee?

 

It's there now.  Can't find exact text right off, and thought was written with no mandate to change signage, but it is now claimed there is fiscal burden due to signage changes?

That is just a stalling tactic that someone is pulling.  There is no financial burden with the bill but a state agency made one up so that nothing comes to a floor vote.  Some of the legislators need to call that out as being dishonest and just trying to kill a bill.

All I know from the track record is, once a Bill-disfavored-bill hits that committee, it doesn't come out.

The fiscal note attaches because of the total deletion of subsection (e).  As we've discussed here before, if instead subsection (e)(1) was retained and modified as it was proposed in Goins HB 0274, there would be no fiscal note.  Instead, Goins got pushed to the back of the bus, and now Harrison's bill is dead meat in Fnce.  You get what you pay for...

Sorry 300, but there is not one Representative on that sub-committee that would come anywhere near supporting this issue, not a single one.

Well that is unfair I suppose, Curry Todd might, but I bet he will not.

Interesting turn.  HB0995 was amended today in Fnce Sub to remove the language that precipitated the fiscal note.  The amendment is not posted to the website at this time, but I'm betting it ends up lookikng almost identical to Goins original bill, which avoided the fiscal note altogether.  Now it goes to full Finance - where Sargent gets his chance to once again kiss the leadership's a$$.

Legislators know how to keep us guessing!!  Sargent has to be a bit more creative now that the fiscal note is not an issue.

Don't worry, Gibbons will drum up some amount of fiscal lie to keep it from passing, anybody seen what he conjured up on Constitutional carry?

What BS, who assumed that I would not like to be armed if I travel the less than 10 miles into KY EVERY SINGLE DAY? I for one would keep my permit for the simple fact that I do travel into other states and would enjoy reciprocity with it.

I believe it actually goes to the senate first and they have the option to strip their amendment and pass the bill, or keep it and then it goes to committee.

i hope you are correct, i am afraid that if it goes to conference then it will stall there and die.

Yeah, lets hold our breath for the NRA to do that.  They didn't even have the nerve to properly shame Haslam - instead, took the PC "we just don't have room on our schedule, otherwise he would speak" way out.  Other than the $$ the convention will funnel to their coffers, NRA doesn't give a big rats a$$ about what goes on in TN, and hasn't for several years.  Their sorry excuse for a liason here is plenty of evidence of that.

This is what the article said:

 

"The measure now heads back to the Senate, where Majority Leader Mark Norris of Collierville said it's unlikely the chamber will agree to the change. If that happens, the bill would go to a conference committee to try to hammer out differences."

If the NRA and Haslam strut around arm in arm during the convention, then we'll know where the NRA stands as to the rights of Tennesseans. Like the NRA says. It's not just about the 2nd amendment, it's about all of our rights. If it falls, all of them will fall.
