Missouri Legislative Update 4/19/02
The Missouri Senate has two bills on the calendar in need of support. Senator Cauthorn's (R-18) RTC bill, SB 938, and SB 689 (Gibbons, R-15), which establishes Project Exile in Missouri, are scheduled but have not been brought up yet. Call your Senator at (573) 751- 3824 and tell him to support these bills on the floor. In addition, HB 1729, Rep. Barnitz's (D-150) RTC bill, was heard on April 18 by the House and has been laid over for amendment. Please contact your Representative and urge them to support the RTC. The House Information Line is (573) 751-3659. http://www.nraila.org/LegislativeUpdate.asp?FormMode=Detail&ID=370
Colorado Legislative Update - 4/19/02
Right to Carry (RTC) legislation cleared another hurdle this week when the House Appropriations Committee approved HB 1410 by an 8-2 vote. This bill, sponsored by Rep. Lois Tochtrop (D-34) and Sen. Ken Chlouber (R-4), will be up for a vote in the full House on Monday, so it is vital that members call their Representatives and urge them to support this bill. The House Information line is (303) 866-2904. Also, Precinct Caucuses will be held in Colorado on Tuesday, April 23. This is your chance to show support for pro-freedom candidates seeking office. For more information on times and locations in your area, contact either the Colorado Democratic Party at (303) 830-8989 or the State Republican Party (303) 758-3333.

California Legislative Update 4/19/02
AB 2222, which seeks to register .50 caliber BMG rifles and treat them like "assault weapons" by creating a permit system, was heard before the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, April 16. Only partial testimony was allowed, with the remainder of testimony and a vote to be taken Tuesday, April 23. For the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the Assembly Public Safety Committee members, check out our "Write Your Reps" tool. For the full text of the bill, log on to www.leginfo.ca.gov. As mentioned in last week's fax, Senator Don Perata, has announced his intention to push through a measure (SCA 12) that would add a five cent sales tax on every cartridge sold. The amendment is slated for a hearing in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Wednesday, April 24. Call your representatives today and ask that they vote "NO" on SCA 12.
