HB2522 is scheduled for the committee Thursday morning and then after it passes there it will go back on the floor for full vote.
It's the same branch of government...the Legislative branch. Pretty much how it works in every state. Two chambers, both must approve a bill before it can go to the gov to be signed. That's how DC works as well.
It's a checks and balances system for the legislature, or supposed to be. That way it is harder for one party to push through stuff just by getting it through one chamber.
How do you find out what is scheduled/on the agenda for the Safety Committee?

Scroll down to Thursday March 29th and then click on Public Safety then scroll down to HB2522.
to bad they scheduled the meeting in a room where we can't listen to the audio. You would think that as much interest as has been show in the open carry bills... the Senate would have moved the meeting to a room where the audio could be broadcast.

HB2522 passed out of the Senate Public Safety Committee this morning.............BUT......Sen. Russell inserted language that makes it an unliscened open carry bill. Of course that is what everyone wants, BUT, that language is going to have a tough road being passed. The limited time left in this years session is going to be a huge issue now as there are several things that must happen now before this can go to Fallin.
Sounds like sabotage, they could have passed this and then later put through another SB to remove the licensing.
Im shocked it was Russell!
