LB430 UPDATE 5/13/09: LB430 Passes 45-3; thank the Senators
Dan W:
Next round is Select File.
Select File is the second debating and voting stage. This step allows another opportunity for amendment, compromise and reflection. Bills on Select File may be indefinitely postponed or advanced to the next stage. After Select File, bills are sent to E&R again to be rechecked. Bills then are reprinted for Final Reading.
Final Reading
Before final passage, all bills are constitutionally required to be read aloud in their entirety by the Clerk of the Legislature, unless three-fifths (30 members) of the Legislature votes to waive the requirement. A bill may not be amended or debated on Final Reading, but may be returned to Select File for a specific amendment. Bills may not be voted on for final passage until at least five legislative days after the bill is introduced, and one legislative day after it is placed on Final Reading.

Can't thank you guys enough - especially FarmerRick and Aldo. I have been passing along your reports to other friends who are not members here. At least 3 of them, besides myself, have sent emails and/or snail mails to our state Senators. You are reaching more than just the members here.

Avery's AM993 is not good at all! I don't like the fact that the vote on this was 29 ayes, 0 nayes, 17not voting, 3 absent. Are the pro people just agreeing with every amendment so we can just get the bill passed?!!
This amendment is a problem because anyone who drives to a school, college, or university etc. is not allowed to have a loaded gun in their own vehicle and the gun needs to be encased. Which means this would include CCW people. Furthermore, if you are a student you cannot possess a gun in your vehicle at all even if you have a CCW permit!
I have a permit. I am a university student. So for instance I go do my errands for the day and have my loaded gun on my person. My first stop is the university to make a short stop at the bookstore to buy or sell a book. Oops, I cant go now because I have a gun. This means I have to leave the gun at home, and then go back to campus and do my business. Then I after go back home, get my gun and then continue on with errands! This is not fair.
Christensen should amend this to allow adult students or nonstudents with a Concealed Handgun Permit to be exempt from this rule as long as they don't remove the handgun from the vehicle. If they want to ban guns on university and college property fine! But they shouldn't be dictating what I can or cannot possess in my vehicle. I think this is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment and the Nebraska constitution.
Dark Helmet:
