SB321: Employer parking lots

The House just voted to concur with the House/Senate Conference Report on SB321, the employer parking lots Bill. Now the Senate can do so as well.

Why didn't you eat more barbeque while campus carry was being debated?

So does this mean parking lots is definitely going to pass?

Just to make 100% sure ...

This will 100% apply to staff at private universities, correct?

I dunno... Charles said the Senate needed to OK the conf committee version as well, and the Chronicle article didn't say anything about the Senate blessing it.

I'll take Charles' status on the bill over the media, any day. Will wait with baited breath for the Senate's actions.

We went from "forcing" colleges to allow guns in buildings to "forcing" companies to allow guns in parking lots. :banghead:

Well, we wanted both. And range protection. And it looks (knock on wood) like we'll have two out of three.

Hope the 2012 election goes as well as 2010, and the 2013 session should fare better.

The Senate still as to concur with the conference report. Then it goes to the Governor.

321 is listed in the "Status of Bills in Conference Committee", but not 'Regular Order of Business'. Any way of knowing if/when the conf committee version will be voted on by the Senate?

I doubt they'll actually work much on the ROB today. It's mostly Senate and House bills on second reading, and the deadline for all those bills have passed.

So where does a bill that's emerged from conf committee fall in those queues?

I don't know, but looking closer I don't think anything on the Senate Regular Order of Business can be heard since anything that didn't pass the third reading in the Senate by Wednesday is dead. That's everything on the ROB.

Looks like SB321 is on its way to the governor. I just got the email alert that the Senate approved the conference committee report.
