LB-68

--- End quote ---
The first vote will be for Cloture, meaning to end debate and move on. If they get the 33 votes for cloture then each amendment will be debated and voted on individually. AM630 should pass and the others are unlikely to get any real support. If that is how things go, then we are good with the amended bill. AM630 is the only amendment that is acceptable at this time. It's not ideal should get enough support to get the bill to pass.

I got this email from my state senator:
"Thank you for writing to me about LB 68. I support the bill.
Sincerely,
Senator Robert Hilkemann
District 4
Nebraska Legislature"
Looks good to me.

State Senator Matt Hansen does not. He doesn't .
Dear Stuart,
Thank you for reaching out to my office, and for sharing your support for LB68 and LB666. I share similar concerns to you with the amendment to LB 68, as giving out exemptions to Omaha severely undercuts the stated purpose of the law. I have also been speaking with our local law enforcement, both police and sheriff, who had concerns on some of the local ordinances that would be eliminated - including the provision against bringing guns into the county jail. I hope there is some area for possible compromise (there has been proposals to mirror Federal law and allow for exemptions for those traveling across the state, for example) but the bill as proposed and currently amended is not something I think I could support.
I did support LB 666, and do plan to continue to support that clarification. I will keep your thoughts in mind when the bills are on the floor of the Legislature.
State Senator Matt Hansen
District 26, State Capitol

Today I received a letter from senator Geist,a response to my email.
She said she is a strong supporter of the second amendment and co-signed the bill. Also she said senator Hilgers has her full support.
Glad I voted for her.

so what is in this bill now. I have heard that Omaha is exempt. I've also heard it will make Omaha's or Lincoln's laws the same for the whole state.
