On Thursday of last week, the Michigan Senate passed long gun background checks, storage mandates, and Red Flag. These are Senates Bills 76-86. Other than for the two tax exemption bills for storage devices, the bills passed along party lines. House Democrats rejected a number of substantive Republican amendments including several for increased funding for school security.
The Senate bills now go to the House for consideration where we've been told they will be discharged from committee rather than allow for public testimony. Opposition testimony was previously suppressed on the House versions of these bills.
House Joint Resolution A and its companion House Bill 4285 were introduced on Tuesday by House Republicans. This legislation would provide for concealed carry on college campuses. MCRGO supports the legislation.
Senate Bill 208 was introduced on Thursday by Senate Democrats. This bill would eliminate preemption of local firearm regulations on property owned or leased by local units of government. MCRGO opposes the bill.
