[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2143852, member: 7815"] As long as the bill also passes the Senate and is then signed into law by the Governor. The bill has cleared the House of Representatives and is now ready to be heard by the Senate Public Safety Committee. It needs to be approved by this committee before it can be voted on by the full Senate. [I][ETA: It's on the Public Safety committee schedule for tomorrow, March 21. See post below.][/I] I am not an expert on the legislative calendar, but my understanding is that this bill needs to clear the Public Safety Committee by no later than April 4 in order to move forward to the full Senate. Then the full Senate must hear and approve the bill by May 31, the end of the legislative session. HB2170 should be a no-brainer to vote for (it passed the House 97-1!) but it would be worth nudging your Senators to make sure it gets scheduled and heard. The members of the Senate Public Safety Committee are: Senator Don Barrington - Chair Senator Kim David - Vice Chair Senator Roger Ballenger Senator Larry Boggs Senator Josh Brecheen Senator David Holt Senator Al McAffrey Senator Wayne Shaw Senator Ralph Shortey If one of these folks is your own Senator, you might especially consider contacting their office, and urging them to hear and vote for HB2170. It is a simple fix that clarifies a badly drafted part of the state's knife laws, to make clear that people can't be arrested and convicted for carrying common styles of pocket knives that line the shelves of Wal-Mart and Academy. (It doesn't have anything to do with switchblade knives.) Sen. Barrington is the chair of the committee so he has a big role in setting the agenda for what bills it hears. [/QUOTE]
