Flash Alert/2315/Not Dead

Just received from the House floor:

"2315 is not dead yet! Bill proponents are trying to attach 2315 language as a dirty rider to a "must pass" appropriations bill. Call or email your representatives NOW and tell them this dirty tactic cannot be supported.

Does anyone have any details on what is being referred to above as being attached as a rider (to HB 1021 bill I'm guessing), as this bill already contained some language about an electronic land access database study.... I heard from one House representative (not my district ) today that had voted for SB 2315 today that approximately at 4:30 p.m. this representative became aware that some appropriations (that this representative had previously been unaware of) for the study (I'm guessing) had been slipped into HB 1021, whatever that means...

Time for the governor to send the assholes home. They're acting like a bunch of fucking kids that can't get their way. Very disappointing.

Update:

I just received a response from this District 11 representative that stated that committee study language of land access and online posting app was added to an IT bill which passed...

Just got a reply from the House that there is no rider. It is instead the study in the IT appropiations bill. That would be ok. We already knew that.

Then my Senator emailed back that 2315 might not be over yet????? And he was one of the good ones.

EDIT: see Nick's post above, better info there.

Rep. Todd Porter mentioned it today. HB 1021

I am sad to see that the language concerning the land access study in the version of HB 1021 that was passed was changed at some point to more closely mirror what was in SB 2315 (which was voted down for reasons including developing and implementing an electronic land access database and posting application system) than an earlier version of this bill at the link below from about April 19th as I understand it. I fear this changed wording may in addition to just provide for studying the matter may allow the committee and/or legislative management to proceed with fully developing and implementing the electronic land access database and online posting application (at yet unknown cost without further public input/comment) for said trial use within the biennium, especially as I understand that this HB 1021 is an appropriations bill. Pro HB 2315 legislature members that responded to me disagree with my interpretation of this wording, saying it does not automatically provide funding, committee would have to come up with a way to fund it, request funding, be approved, etc. I don't know. However, I am concerned once the money has been spent to fully develop an electronic system and online posting application and implemented for trial use in three counties (most likely the lion's share of the cost of a fully implemented system) it is only a very small step from there to be fully implemented and probably statewide, even if for no other reason to try and justify the money that has already been spent. Perhaps someone more learned than me about legislative process will see it differently.

They will continue this as long as it takes unless we get an initiative passed first
