Yeah, that is a terrible interpretation of what this bill does. Not even really close to correct.

Any further movement in the senate?

It was referred to senate judicial proceedings committee almost 10 days ago. Since then, no movement, no hearing date, nothing.

Its senate counterpart (sb882) hasn't moved since it's hearing a month ago in that same committee.

When does the 2019 MGA session end? I thought it was this week or next. Do bills often die just because they do not have time to get to them, or will this get jammed in at the 11th hour?

Other than watching this thread and the MGA webpage, is there any way to find out if there has been any activity on a particular bill?

I suppose I could call my senators office and ask him. I think I will do that today.

This is a little conspiracy like but I kind of like the don't ask approach. Dont even want to remind them that it's there especially if they're unfriendly.

I live in Carroll County and my Senator is Justin Ready. He is on our side.

Lots of bills die in committee or just because there isn't enough time to get to them. The length of session combined with the sheer number of bills some legislators put in is a serious problem, but one that I'm happy to have at the moment.

But yes, if the interest and political will is there they can still jam stuff through at the last minute. It's just that first part which is key- it needs to be a real priority for people who are high up enough in leadership to happen.

There's a tracker on the MGA website you can set up which will email you every day the status of all bills you designate.

From what I have been reading and hearing, nothing is happening with the ghost gun bill. I think the Maryland General Assembly finally pushed too far with gun control and it received an earful.

Who knows, maybe they are doing some back room stuff right now and then they are going to stick it to us at 11:59 tonight.

We heard from several Dels and Sens that this one is dead. Don't celebrate until midnight.

Yeah, the ear full went something like “We Will Not Comply”. It also flew over Annapolis.

I have my party hat and noisemaker ready. I have been concerned about all of the anti gun bills but this one in particular really chapped my ass. :party29:
