Got an e-mail from Charles Evers:

Thank you for taking the time to write to me your support of Senator Evers’ Senate Bill 234. Senate Bill 234 was postponed by its sponsor Senator Evers. Senator Evers is the chair of the Criminal Justice Committee and will decide when it will be brought onto the agenda again. When Senate Bill 234 is brought before the Criminal Justice Committee, I will keep your e-mail in mind. You can follow Senate Bill 234 by logging on to The Florida Senate - The Florida Senate. Please continue to write to me on issues important to you.

HB 517 has been introduced, well atleast put on the record as such for Tuesday, March 8, 2011. It is the twin to SB 234.

And if I'm reading it right, if you have a Florida CWAF license, we will be able to skip the NCIC check on purchases in this state.

And it has passed! Now on to Gov Scott for signature.

Senate Bill 234, introduced by state Senator Greg Evers (R-2) and House Bill 517, introduced by state Representative Chris Dorworth (R-34) were heard in the full House yesterday on Second Reading. SB 234 was substituted for HB 517 and Representative Dorworth handled the bill on the House floor. Today, SB 234 came up for debate and final passage AND PASSED in the House by a 99 to 17 vote.

This bill now goes to Governor Rick Scott for his signature.

 

[StogieC]

Open carry and campus carry were both stripped from the bill. The version that passed is significantly watered down.

 

[Seeya]

OK when can we expect it to be signed into law.

 

[Seeya]

SB 234 has been signed sent to the Gov. for his signing as of 6/8/2011!

 

[Seeya]
