Below are the cut-off dates for action on bills in the legislature. One was met when SB5844 was heard in the Senate Natural Resources and Parks Committee. I'm guessing HB 1660 missed the deadline for a hearing in the House, but Representatives could still get a look at this legislation if the Senate sent it back to the House for action. What's next? Where can individual effort best be applied to keep SB 5844/HB 1660 moving? Probably be a big mistake for sportsmen to go silent on this legislation now.
