LB430 UPDATE 5/13/09: LB430 Passes 45-3; thank the Senators

[Dan W]

Thanks Lefty... LB503 is also on the agenda for Select File debate

[Aldo]

Thanks for picking that up, Lefty.

Here is the agenda for tomorrow, Wednesday, April 12.  Hopefully, the legislature will get to it. And it will be interesting to see if the legislature goes for the full reading of the bill or votes to skip the full reading and let the action begin.  Just guessing, but my wager is that the legislature votes to skip the full reading and goes for it!!

[tufftrav]

To bad they didn't add an emergency Clause. 

[Aldo]

First vote for skipping the "final reading" was 38-0-10 (with Council absent).

Final vote: 45-3 (with Council absent)

Many thanks to everyone for their support of LB 430! This is a great day!!! Council was not there today, otherwise it would have been 45-4. A rather resounding support by the NE Senators. Not even close!!!!

[Rifleman]

When you say "LB430 passes" does that mean it passes out of committee and goes to the floor for a vote, or does it mean that it now goes to the governor for his signature?

[Thomas]

This is great news, especially for me I live in Lexington area and have friends in Holdrege area (two of the last hold outs).

Now to send senators thank yous!

[Jesse T]

When you say "LB430 passes" does that mean it passes out of committee and goes to the floor for a vote, or does it mean that it now goes to the governor for his signature?

Has passed all committes, amendments, and votes in legislature.  Speaker has signed it and it will be sent to the governor for his signature.

Yes, according to the NE Legislature website, LB 430 was sent to the Governor today!

[Rifleman]

Thank you! That is wonderful.

Yesterday was my birthday, and even though it's a day late, it's a great birthday present!

I've been plunking for this ever since CCW became possible. I guess all those letters were worth the time they took.

Congratulations to all of us.

[George]

Do you suppose that Council's absense was on purpose?
When the Gov. signs it, when does it go into effect?

[FLUFF]

Ok
I'm going to print out new law for a good long read late.


Lets Review

What all has changed ??

[Jesse T]

-State Pre-emption of all local ordinances regarding CHP holders
-Church carry for approved security personel
-No more 180 day wait period for military personel stationed in NE
-Allow carry at any of the prohibited or posted places so long as gun does not leave vehicle (including schools!)
-Dictates CHP issuance in 45 days or less (after 1 Jan 2010)
-Enables Reciprocity with states TBD by NE Attorney General

[Rifleman]

When does this go into effect?

[tufftrav]

according to the unicam website the law will go into effect 3 months after the session has come to an end. and contingent on the governors signature.

[Roper]

Awesome!!  Great job to all of the members who lobbied and just as importantly took the time to keep the masses informed - this site's content has been extremely helpful!!

[Aldo]

In between our celebrating, let's remember to send a "thank you" to the NE Senators!

The nod of gratitude now will be worth its weight later on when the next issue comes up.

[Dan W]
