Well, I'm back. Thanks to others for updating. Amendments adopted:
7, 8: Minor technical corrections
15: ERPO can be in effect for up to 1 year rather than will be in effect for 1 year (judge has discretion to shorten term of order)
16: Confiscation occurs within 24 hours of the order rather than immediately
17: minor
19: Basically, data must be collected and regularly reported to a variety of political bodies
21: Unbelievably, this lowers the fine for a false petition from $5k to $2.5k. It also allows for both fine and imprisonment rather than either or.
23: More data collection/reporting.
24: 45 day enactment period rather than 30 (this amendment was adopted after changing 60 to 45)
25: Gives SJC and appeals courts concurrent jurisdiction over any proceedings, rulings, etc etc done with ERPOs. Also allows them to rule changes to the process of reviewing ERPO decisions if the process can be made more efficient/speedy.
26: Finally a bit of due process, but not much. This says that anyone receiving an ERPO hearing must be served with notice at least 7 days prior to the hearing by a LEO or other method (process server)
We interrupt this program to note that amendment 30, the stun gun bullshit, was REJECTED. Good news in my book, but I was not able to watch the stream to see if some other BS around this issue arose. I'll definitely want to see the debate on that.
Finally,
43: Can only surrender to licensed dealers. Licensing authorities that confiscate can do whatever they want with collections 180 days after the ERPO expires if they can't reasonably identify anyone qualified to receive them (e.g. a family member or friend with an LTC). Also, "The court may modify its order at any subsequent time upon motion by either party." Bunch of other gobbledygook.
All other amendments failed or were withdrawn. Mostly failed, I'd say, when it comes to the ones that mattered. This bill pretty much passed as written.
Bill passed the house, 139 to 14. If you want to know how people voted, there will be a supplement added to the bill's page. It's not up yet.
I would also like to say, it ain't over til it's over. Time to call your senators and the governor's office. Remind the governor how he was elected.
