Yes. Hopefully they can do that like tomorrow or Thursday.

101 Ayes, 47 Nay = 148
There's 98 republicans and 52 democrats in the house. So at least 3 democrats voted in favor.

Didn't 5 have something to do with teaching hospitals?

Does this mean Chas has egg on his face?

But this is a good bill. Older students walking near campus after dark (the only ones who will have CHLs and guns anyway) will be able to CCW to protect themselves... IF the universities don't opt out, per the amendments.

Yes - 3rd reading tomorrow.

For people asking about the amendments, they're out here:

So reading through Amendment 1 it's not as bad as I thought. I hope the Senate concurs and we get SB11 signed into law. If universities abuse this and ban 99% of buildings we can undo or adjust that amendment in the next session.

I think it means as a whole or in it's entirety. Bill plus amendments.

What good is this bill with the opt out?

Not at all, but it may mean that I will have to cut Strauss a bit of slack......
