ISRA Legislative Alert - SB1966 with House Committee Amendment 1 - May 21, 2019
|
|
Representative Kathleen Willis became the house sponsor of SB 1966, originally titled "PUBLIC DEFENDER BAIL PROGRAM", and is using it as the vehicle for her anti-gun initiative "FIX THE FOID ACT" under House Committee Amendment 1. It's a complete rewrite, nothing remains of the original bill.
This bill just passed out of the House Judiciary - Criminal Committee Hearing held today, on a partisan vote. It is now headed for a vote on the House Floor. It is critical that you call your State Representative now and urge that they not support this bill, SB1966, as amended, in a floor vote. Emotions can run high when thinking about legislation to remove your rights. Please remember that you will be talking to a staff person for the representative and your roll here is not to try to debate that person, and their roll is simply to take your information. They will be keeping a tally to give to the representative, so keep it brief, polite and understandable. If you need to verify who your Illinois State Representative is, please use this lookup at the Illinois State Board of Elections. Thank you for your action on this matter, and stand by for more alerts today. If you are receiving this alert and are not an ISRA member, please join and help support the fight to keep your 2nd Amendment Rights.
