RED ALERT! Missouri SAPA Call to Action

The Missouri legislature has only until May 15th to pass the Second Amendment Preservation Act, and there are still "gate keepers" it must get past.

Clearly, the House version, HB 85, is the bill that must move at this late date, and it appears that's what Senate Leadership intends to do. They can't take SAPA to the floor, however, unless the Governmental Accountability and Fiscal Oversight Committee (GAFO) holds a hearing and agrees to vote "do pass."

The VERY BAD news is, that committee is chaired by Senator Lincoln Hough, the senator most responsible for stalling SAPA in 2020.

HB 85 was assigned to his committee a week ago, but he still hasn't scheduled it for the hearing he plans to hold tomorrow (Wednesday). (Check the latest hearing schedule here: https://www.senate.mo.gov/hearingsschedule/hrings.htm#4)

I'm convinced that Senate pro tem Dave Schatz wants to take up and pass HB 85 out of the Senate, but he can't take action until Sen. Lincoln Hough lets the bill go through his committee.

ACTION ITEM:

Call, email, visit in person Senator Lincoln Hough and tell him to immediately vote HB 85 out of committee. He has time, today (Tuesday) to schedule it for his regular hearing tomorrow (Wednesday).

Sen. Lincoln Hough
