Springfield Report for May 20, 2008
 

The House has adjourned for the day with no action on SB-1007.  Our long-time opponent Rep. Osterman has been out with the birth of a new child.

HB5191 is up for a hearing in Senate Judiciary Criminal Law tomorrow at 10:00.  This bill would give the ISP the power to revoke the FOID of parents whose minor child gains access, by any means, to firearms or ammunition.
