After passing in the state Senate on May 31, House Bill 48 was returned to the House of Representatives for concurrence due to a slight technical amendment adopted in the Senate. Today, the state House suspended its rules, brought HB 48 to the house floor and passed it by a wide margin. With the House’s concurrence, HB 48 will now be sent to the Governor for his approval. This legislation is designed to update Delaware state law to meet the requirements set forth in the Federal NICS Improvement Amendments Act (NIAA).

On May 26, House Bill 2797 A-Engrossed, sponsored by state Representatives Kim Thatcher (R-25) and Greg Smith (R-57), passed in the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 3 to 2 vote bearing no resemblance to the original bill.

The Illinois House of Representatives failed to hold a follow-up vote on the concealed-carry gun law this week, despite strong support for the bill from gun enthusiasts and Second Amendment advocates. Still, representatives of the National Rifle Association say they are “cautiously optimistic” that the new law will have enough support to be approved the next time a vote is taken. The House could vote on the matter again as early as this fall’s veto session.
