Legislative Bill Tracking (3/2/18)

Tuesday, February 27, was the deadline for committees to report general bills which originated in the other chamber. While HB 957 (new education funding formula) survived this deadline, it was killed on the Senate floor yesterday. HB 1083 was amended in Senate Judiciary A this past Tuesday to allow teachers and professors who receive enhanced law-enforcement training of 12 hours every two years, and who have enhanced concealed carry training and permits to carry concealed weapons in schools and colleges. It would not be mandatory for teachers to carry guns; rather, local school boards would have to approve a policy allowing for such. HB 1083 is awaiting consideration by the full Senate. Next Wednesday, March 7, is the deadline for each chamber to pass general bills which originated in the other chamber.

Legislators went home yesterday afternoon and will return to the capitol Monday afternoon.
