Friday, June 3rd, is the last day to pass some house bills. Some bills are on "suspense" in a fiscal committee and others are on the Assembly or Senate floor. ASSEMBLY: AB 2865 (Lee), AB X37 (Burton & W. Brown) and AB 2706 (Caldera) These are all bills that would eliminate state preemption over gun laws and allow local government to pass anti-gun bills. AB 2469 (Burton) and AB X132 (Katz) - Would increase the penalties for illegally carrying a concealed firearm. AB 2517 (Umberg) - Would increase the penalty if a minor gains access to a firearm without the parents permission and carries it off premises. AB 2546 (Polanco) - Would ban caseless ammunition. AB 3210 (T. Friedman) - Would ban the sale of handguns in California after 1-1-95 and would impose a $200 tax on EVERY handgun you own. AB 3410 (B. Friedman) - Would require the licensing of firearm dealers by the Department of Justice. AB 2517 and AB 3210 are on suspense in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. If they are approved by the Ways and Means Committee, they will move IMMEDIATELY to the Assembly Floor. SENATE: SB 1275 (Hart) - Would require a license from the Department of Justice to purchase a handgun. SB 1276 (Hart) - Would require a license from the Department of Justice to purchase ammunition. SB 1277 (Hart) - Would prohibit anyone but a peace officer from purchasing more than one handgun in a 30-day period. SB 1293 (Hayden) - Would repeal state preemption. SB 1294 (Hayden) - Would increase the penalty for carrying a concealed weapon. SB 1896 (Petris) - Would prohibit 18-21 year olds from possessing a handgun if they didn't live with their parents. It would also subject the victim of a burglary to a $500 file if the firearms wasn't in a safe or chained to a residence at the time it was stolen. You can thank Attorney General Lungren for this idea! SB X37 (Roberti) - Would prohibit people in prohibited classes from possessing ammunition, magazines, etc. SB X46 (Roberti) - Would add Senator Feinstein's generic description of assault weapon to the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapon Control Act, thereby adding many new firearms to the "banned" list. SB 1275, 1276, and 1294 are still on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee. If passed, these bills will also move quickly to the Senate Floor. It is essential that, on Tuesday morning, May 31, you "light up" the phones in the capitol. We need to keep the pressure on until Friday afternoon. ====================================================================== -- ************************************************************ * Ron Phillips crphilli@ingr.com * * Senior Customer Application Engineer * * Intergraph Electronics * * 381 East Evelyn Avenue VOICE: (415) 691-6473 * * Mountain View, CA 94041 FAX: (415) 691-0350 * ************************************************************
