2014 Bill(s)

* CCS SB 656
Sponsor: Kraus, Will
Status: VETO OVERRIDDEN
Description: Restrict the live test for marksmanship and reloading and a pistol to get a concealed weapons permit to either a revolver or a semiautomatic. Current law requires demonstrating skills with both types of weapons. The final version lets schools authorize teachers to carry concealed weapons in schools, bans cities from outlawing opening carry of weapons by concealed weapons permit holders and restricts doctors releasing firearm possession by patients.

MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
