HB3660 has been introduced by McCormick, (SB3451 by Sutherland) is on the schedule to be heard in the House Consumer and Employee Affairs sub committee on Wednesday, March 8th. THIS IS A BAD BILL. It has big business written ALL over it. If your employer has a fenced, gated lot with an attendee at the gate checking IDs, you can forget it. They will be exempt. Also with that exemption, there is no requirement for them to provide secure storage for your weapon, so again, you can forget it. It has tons of protections for the employer but is not much more than a token bill.
We all know what is happening here. Speaker Harwell and Rep McCormick, (in business's pocket) have been opposed to helping us on a parking lot bill for the last two years. The ONLY reason they are making this "gesture" is because they are beginning to feel the heat. This is nothing more than throwing the dog a bone. This is a worthless bill and they KNOW it. They KNOW we will not like it and THEN they can say they offered us a bill but we rejected it.
Again THIS IS A BAD BILL. We CAN NOT let it usurp SB3002 by Faulk and HB3560 by Bass. STAY THE COURSE.
