06.10.09 "READILY ACCESSIBLE" BILL PASSES HOUSE.
"MENTAL HEALTH " BILL GOES TO WAYS AND MEANS... |
Senate
Bill 603, which we requested to define the term "readily
accessible" for the purposes of transporting a handgun
without a CHL, passed the House today without a single "no"
vote.
This is a significant victory in the current political climate
and due entirely to your efforts in contacting the Senate Judiciary
Chairman. Because the bill was amended in the House Committee
it will require concurrence in the Senate which we fully expect.
Thank you for your hard work.
On June 2nd we reported
that the HB 2853 had passed out of the Rules Committee and was
headed for the House Floor with a subsequent referral to the
Ways and Means Committee. Now, by order of the Speaker of the
House, the bill will go to Ways and Means first and then to
the floor, if it passes out of committee.
The bill has been assigned to the Public Safety Subcommittee.
As of June 10th, it has not been scheduled for a hearing.
Contact information for the subcommittee and a sample message
follows.
Please note. This is a joint committee. Please address your
e-mails to either "Senator" or "Representative."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HB 2853 has been assigned to your Ways and Means Subcommittee.
This bill was written to guarantee that Oregon would get some
Federal dollars by complying with a Federal mandate to turn
over mental health records to the FBI. I would strongly urge
you to read the Federal legislation before you agree to force
Oregon to capitulate to Federal mandates. I think if you do,
you will see that the Federal law is complicated, subject to
many interpretations, and prone to abuse. Please vote "no"
on HB 2853.
Yours,
