HB0962 and the Senate

[jay1313g]

With over 460 threads on the other post, I thought I'd start one on the latest hurdle.

Did the Senate give HB0962 the thumbs up to go to the Governer today?

[Guest bkelm18]

They haven't met yet I don't think.

you know...as much as I would love to see all these "GUN" bills get passed. As much as the legislature has kinda drug its feet...I wonder IF any will be signed by the gov'nuh

You can use Tennessee General Assembly::Streaming Video to view it when it gets a bit closer

If I remember right...Sen Jackson's son posted on here that Sen Jackson could bring it up at anytime.

The reason he didn't last week was because the Senate adjourned before the House brought it up.

The Senate clerk will give notice today on the conf. committee report. Once that procedural step has been done, Sen. Jackson can bring it up...

The senate adjourned its floor session before the bill was returned to the senate from the house.

Sen. Jackson (my dad ) will make a motion to adopt the conference committee report as the action of the senate, either Monday or Thursday.

Under senate rules, it is a "privileged" motion which means he can make the motion at any time during any floor session.

The "clean" version received 66 votes (2/3 majority) in the house! It should receive much more than a 2/3 majority vote in the senate. Way veto proof!

Got ya...that would probably be after the Regular Calendar, right?

[Guest JavaGuy]

Unfinished business, I think... after calendars.

[dralarms]

They just brought it up as a message. Guess we will see if it comes up for a vote today.

[Fallguy]

Ok.....it was announced as unfinished business

[Fallguy]

Starting Regular Calendar....has 25 items

[dralarms]

At least they don't let any grass grow under their feet when discussing these bills.

[Guest JavaGuy]

Most of the time things have been discussed thoroughly in committee so the members who are part of that committee are familar with the bill's content. The other members will challenge if they or a constituent has a problem with the bill; otherwise, they will go with what the sponsor of the bill recommends.

What is funny is when you watch them have very impassioned debates for/against a bill and then the vote goes 33-0 in favor of the bill.

Figures. My wife and I had to step outside to bottle feed some abandoned kittens. She sure has grown fond of them.

[Fallguy]

Well not that I want anything to take that long...at least we know the Senate will be in session till May 28th....

[dralarms]

What happened? Did he not bring it up?

[Fallguy]

Ummmm.....what?!? :confused::-\

Just adjourned....

Never heard it come up other than being announced as unfinished business...

[Guest JavaGuy]

I was listening but did not hear him run the bill. I guess that means Thursday.
