From TSRA:
And YES! to SB273, too.
On Monday, March 16th, the Texas Senate took up SB 17 by Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) on the Senate floor. The bill gives Texans with a concealed handgun license the option of carrying exposed in a belt or shoulder holster. The language also creates PC 30.07 which would allow private business owners who accept patrons carrying concealed, to prohibit open carry.
Amendment #1 moved the effective date of the bill from Sept. 1 to Jan.1, 2016. The date change was to accommodate DPS instructor certification class plus give the agency a chance to update website information.
Amendment #2 requires current CHL course material to include "use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried handguns".
Amendment #3 would prohibit licensed open carry on the property of a private or public college or university.
Dozens of other amendments were offered and voted down or withdrawn.
SB 17, licensed open carry, passed 20-11, along partisan lines.
The House companion to SB 17 is HB 910 by Rep. Larry Phillips (R-Sherman). The bills are identical. The Rep. Phillips, chairman of House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety, brought his bill to his committee for a hearing on Tuesday, March 17th.
As in the Senate, Licensed Open Carry (HB 910) and CHL on Campus, HB 937 by Rep. Allen Fletcher, were laid out and explained at the same time. Witness testimony was limited to 2 minutes on both bills and still the testimony took nearly 6 hours. HB 910 by Phillips and HB 937 by Rep. Allen Fletcher (R-Tomball) are both pending in committee. These bills may be held until the Senate bills arrive in the House. This is not an uncommon practice when the Senate version is moving faster.
On Wednesday, March 18th, Senator Brian Birdwell's Campus bill (SB11) moved to the Senate floor for debate.
This version of CHL on Campus will decriminalize carrying a handgun into a college or university building by a CHL but it would allow private colleges to move to "opt-out" of the measure. Private colleges are treated in SB 11 and in SB 937 as private property owners are treated in other parts of the penal code.
Other Good Bills Moving
CHL Sign Bill
Bills on the move this week include SB 273 by Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels). SB 273 would give CHLs a tool in law to require a governmental entities: cities, counties, and school districts to remove improperly posted PC 30.06 signs or a sign designed to prohibit entry by a licensee on public property open to the general public but not listed in statute. The language creates a substantial fine, collected by the Texas Attorney General's office.
Senator Campbell's bill passed in the Senate and will likely overtake the House companion, HB 226 by Rep. Ryan Guillen (D-Rio Grande City).
Constitutional Amendment Right to Hunt and Fish
Senate Joint Resolution SJR22 by Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) has passed in committee and is moving to the Senate floor. A constitutional amendment must pass in the Legislature by 2/3s vote in both chambers and will be on the November 2015 ballot. This measure will protect our current hunting methods and our hunting heritage for many future generations of Texans.
The companion to SJR 22 is HJR 61 by Rep. Trent Ashby (R-Lufkin). HJR61 will be heard in House Committee on Culture, Recreation, and Tourism on Tuesday, March 24th.
HB 554 by Rep. Drew Springer passed in House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety and now moves to Calendars Committee. HB 554 would allow a person with a CHL who mistakenly goes into the secured portion of an airport with their handgun, to immediately leave the area.
