AB 1663- Chiu, 2016 - Dead in Committee

[pistol3]

Not to sound dumb, when it is dead in committee, what is the next step for a bill?

Make some tweaks and bring it back next year.

Unless the bulk of what it contained gets passed in another bill anyways, since there are like 47 near-duplicates of this bill

[BigPimping]

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks fellas.

[Mark77]

We're safe...until next year.

[Cokebottle]

We're safe...until next year.

We will never be "safe" in California.

Even if they are defeated this year, they will all come back next year.
If they are again vetoed next year, they come back in 2018 and Gov Newscumb will sign them and help them write more.

Bill is dead in committee.

ETA: May 27, California: Assembly Appropriations Committee Sends Several Anti-Guns Bills to the Assembly Floor

That is, the bill, originating in the Assembly, failed to be voted out of the Assembly (out of A:Appropriations to A:Floor) by the Legislative Calendar due date of June 3. http://assembly.ca.gov/legislativedeadlines

... So Gavin can sign it into law at that time.

[CandG]

I don't think Gavin can sign anything until 2019. Yes, everyone including myself has resigned themselves to the fact that he will be our next governor... but at least we have 3 years til he starts to do serious damage to this state.

It hardly matters since there are substantially identical bills still alive.

Someone should make a pinned thread that has a list of all the current gun-related bills and measures, a summary of each, and their current status, all in one convenient easy-to-read place. I know there's already a pinned bill index thread, but it's all broken up into different posts by different people and you have to click on each one and read all the pages to figure out where it's at, if it even says at all. Maybe I'll put something together this afternoon.

Yes, that is indeed the thread I was referencing that I wish there was a version of that also had the current status, and not broken up into 47 different posts by different people

[CandG]

Something like this:

2016 Bills Index (with current status)

SB 869 Hill, 2016 - Remove LEO exemption for guns stored in cars
Last movement: 1/1/2016
Status: In committee

SB 870 D-Bag, 2016 - Ban scary stuff
Last movement: 6/1/2016
Status: Dead

SB 871 D-Bag's Brother, 2016 - Ban more scary stuff
Last movement: 6/7/2016
Status: On Governor's desk

etc...

Feel free.

I tried that a couple cycles ago. Turns out to be a lot of work come August, as things cycle more quickly, and the legislative web site cannot keep up, so the info to update such a thread is often a day or three behind.

The place to haunt is the Governor's web site, for the press releases about bills signed and vetoed.

Oh poop, you mean I have to keep it updated?? On second thought maybe the existing thread is fine
