[Perch_44]

ok, i'm an idiot when trying to decipher the senate schedule for today.... is the stand your ground bill on today's schedule?

and if so, can someone post a link to the schedule for today?

Not on today's schedule...

Sign up for GOCRA's email list, and you will get an email with updates on the bill.

H.F. No. 1467 for comparison with companion Senate File, reports the following House File was found not identical with companion Senate File as follows:

This is how they "marry up" the 2 bills. The FILE that passes first becomes the file destined to become law. The CONTENTS of the file may (often does) vary from House to Senate version.

It is their normal procedure. Each House always starts off floor debate with it's own version of the bill. This guarantees a Conference Committee if they want one. Otherwise the Senate author can amend it back to the House version.

so, where exactly are we in the process of getting this voted on, at the senate floor level?

Good question.. I'd call your senator and Amy Koch, and tell them to get it in soon. Session ends Monday.
