That portion has been the law for many years.Effectively says if another state honors our WL we will honor theirs. Or did I misread this one?
Yesterday this was voted out of the SubCommittee-2A and goes on to the full Public Safety & Homeland Security Committee for a hearing and vote sometime soon.
Basically it says other states need not honor any licenses we issue to persons 18-20 years of age. The potential of such licenses caused an issue between Virginia and Georgia. Virginia passed legislation to fix this issue, but the Governor vetoed it last week. This bill is probably introduced in response to the news of that veto.Effectively says if another state honors our WL we will honor theirs. Or did I misread this one?
Gracias.Basically it says other states need not honor any licenses we issue to persons 18-20 years of age. The potential of such licenses caused an issue between Virginia and Georgia.

Under debate in Committee now.
Amended to take effect upon signature and to require the Attorney General to maintain and post a reciprocity list on the state web site.
Substituted as amended.

We are working hard on getting the veto overridden. Do not be real surprised if it happens.Basically it says other states need not honor any licenses we issue to persons 18-20 years of age.

Even if that happens, there are other states with the same issue. Thankfully, our attorney general has not yet figured that out (yet). At least with HB 406, the attorney general would be prevented from pulling this nonsense again with another state other than Virginia.We are working hard on getting the veto overridden. Do not be real surprised if it happens.

Effectively down to 2 votes of dems to get it overridden. Still got some work to do but getting there.

Today is the last day to put on the pressure to get this bill up for a full House vote and sent over to the Senate.
It's Cross-over day.
Call the folks on the House Rules committee. Get them to vote.

Sorry for the delay... I had to get home, pack the truck for tomorrows gun show... yada yada yada..
So here's the facts...
the Yeas were 164 the Nays were 7
This bill having received the requisite constitutional majority is therefore passed (that was around 4PM)
