Committee hearings on Tues 16th and more.   Dont forget witness slips are open to file.  Obviously all of these bills wont get heard on these days.

==================

List updated for this next week...

***Many committee hearings keep getting added and the dates times getting rescheduled multiple times. Need to rethink on how best to keep witness slip filing notifications added for your information***

Witness slip time if so inclined...Some are less firearm friendly than others. I don't expect the full list, if any, to actually be heard but you never know. I've include the supoort/oppose stance from illinoiscarry.
Some like repeal the FOID and carry on Public Transport seem obvious.

Then there's this one. I checked and didn't see it above.

Subject: the police



It could happen. A bill in Springfield would grant “conservator of the peace” powers to all members of the Illinois General Assembly.

After Illinois state representatives and senators completed a law enforcement training course, House Bill 724 would allow them to:

Arrest or cause to be arrested, with or without process, all persons who break the peace or are found violating any municipal ordinance or any criminal law of the state
-Commit arrested persons for examination
-If necessary, to detain arrested persons in custody overnight or Sunday in any safe place or until they can be brought before the proper court, and
-Exercise all other powers as conservators of the peace prescribed by state and corporate authorities.
-State Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, has raised concerns about the proposed bill.

“Who’s going to carry the liability insurance? Who’s going to wear body cameras and when is that going to be required?” Caulkins said to WAND-TV. “Do you want political people with the power to arrest someone that they may not agree with politically? I mean, I think there’s a lot to be thought about.”

The concerns Caulkins expressed over mixing the lawmaking powers of representatives with law enforcement echo criticisms long aimed at Chicago aldermen.

Alderman have been considered “conservators of the peace” under Illinois law since 1872, granting them the power to make arrests and carry a concealed handgun in the case they or someone else is under immediate threat of bodily harm. They also have badges.

But because Chicago is a home-rule municipality, city alderman were able to pass legislation making themselves exempt from the state-mandated firearm training required of law officers to carry firearms, despite possessing similar policing powers.

The bill was assigned to the House Executive Committee on March 2.

If it makes it into law you and I both know it'll be used to Red Flag gun owners when we protest our illustrious criminal politicians.
