Last week was very busy for firearms related legislation. We had hearings in several committees concerning some of our key bills. Here’s what we know so far:
A.B. 91, the “explosives bill” was heard in the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee on May 8th. No action was taken at that time.
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 stopped hearing testimony and 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 8th. No action was taken at that time. It was heard again on May 11th and still no action was taken. Maybe this is a good thing as the provision about 2” knives is just stupid!
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 8th. No action was taken at that time.
A.B 259, NDOW accounting bill (formerly a Mountain Lion hunting bill!) passed out the Assembly Ways and Means Committee May 4th with a “Do Pass” recommendation. I have no idea where this bill is right now.
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 gutted like a carp, was heard in the Assembly Government Affairs Committee on May 10th. I understand that there was some excellent testimony asking that the bill be restored to its original form. The committee took no action on the bill at this time. (Rumor has it that there may be some amendments coming out of the committee to make this bill more acceptable to Clark County residents, more when we know more!!)
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 9th. No action was taken at that time.
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 9th. No action was taken at that time.
That’s where all of our bills now stand. I’m positive about A.B. 95. I think that will pass on the Senate floor and will go to the governor.
