Legislative Update from Olympia – 29 January 2016<\/p>\n

MISSED HB 2410<\/p>\n

NEW GUN BILLS FILED<\/p>\n

PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD<\/p>\n

PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED<\/p>\n

ACTION ON BILLS<\/p>\n

FIRST POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF NEXT FRIDAY<\/p>\n

(Same deal as last week. I\u2019m on the road to Jacksonville, FL, for the annual meeting of the Florida Sport Shooting Association. The information cut-off is once again Thursday night vice Friday. )<\/p>\n

Last week while I was at SHOT in Las Vegas I missed one gun bill, HB 2410, b y Rep. Hayes (R-10). HB 2410 amends the existing \u201cfelon firearm registry\u201d to mandate inclusion of a convicted felon\u2019s name (or someone found not guilty by reason of insanity) in that list. Under current law, inclusion is a judgment call, based on the circumstances involved, of the court. Rep. Hayes has informed me that he has an amendment to his bill to narrow the mandate to those convicted of violent felonies, not I-594-style technical violators. GOAL position on the bill is SUPPORT WHEN AMENDED. \u2013\u2013<\/p>\n

HB 2867, by Rep. Scott (R-39), would allow CPL holders to carry concealed firearms on college campuses. HB 2893, by Rep. Kuderer (D-48) is another bill trying to use mental health to ban guns. HB 2907, by Rep. Moscoso (D-1) narrows the existing use of force by peace officer (and those assisting peace officers) law. HB 2913, by Rep. Gregerson (D-33) would allow suspension of various state-issued licenses for failure to pay court-ordered child support. (Recall your history lessons about debtor\u2019s prisons back in the 1600s-1700s \u2013 can\u2019t pay the bill, go to jail. Suspending a professional license will sure help child support payments. )SB 6603, by Sen. Fain (R-47) is a companion bill to HB 2793, addressing suicide awareness and prevention. SB 6621, Sen. Fraser (D-22) creates a task force to study policing and use of deadly force.<\/p>\n

Public hearings were held this week on several bills: SBs 6158, 6165 and 1267 and HBs 2410, 2793, and 2603. Next step is for the committee chair to schedule a vote in committee in executive session. If the bill is voted out of committee, it moves to the Rules committee awaiting a floor vote, or to a fiscal committee if it has major fiscal impact. The decision to move a bill out of committee rests with the committee chair. He or she may call for a vote, or they may sit on it.<\/p>\n

Two public hearings are scheduled next week on gun bills. HB 2913, by Rep. Gregerson (D-33) will be heard in House Judiciary at 8 a. m. on Wednesday, 3 February. HB 2907, by Rep. Moscoso (D-1) will be heard in House Public Safety at 1: 30 p. m. on Wednesday, 3 February as well<\/p>\n

Next Friday, 5 February, is the cut-off for bills to pass out of their first policy committee (most gun bills out of House Judiciary or Senate Law & Justice). Theoretically, bills that do not move on through the process are considered dead for the session (subject to extraordinary action, rarely). That means most of the bills on the \u201cactive\u201d list will drop out and we can narrow our focus, as well as support for or opposition to a narrower number of bills.<\/p>\n
