Frustrated
by the childish shenanigans in the Senate Judiciary Committee,
pro-gun members of the House Judiciary Committee today passed
amendments to Senate
Bill 347.
This bill "Exempts from disclosure records of domestic
violence service or resource center that concern individuals
affected by domestic or sexual violence."
The amendments
add to the bill language that would protect CHL holder's privacy.
A House bill which would have done the same thing, and which
passed the House by a wide margin has been stalled in the Senate
Judiciary Committee. While that bill is due to be heard tomorrow,
we expect that as with all gun bills that go there, efforts
will be made to mangle or kill it.
This is a positive development and thanks go to Co Chairs Jeff
Barker and Wayne Krieger of House Judiciary for making this
happen.
To no one's surprise, House Reps Mary
Nolan and Carolyn
Tomei both voted, once again, against CHL privacy, and now
have voted against the privacy of domestic violence victims.
Way to go girls. |
