As predicted, there is a new cannabis measure. HB2050 successfully transformed into Marijuana Licensing. This transformation is a striker/ strike all/ amendment everything. HB2050 has the same language as SB1402.
A striking amendment removes everything after the title and inserts a whole new bill. These amendments allow legislators to circumvent the deadlines on introduction of new legislation, deal with an issue that arises after the deadline, or revive a bill that previously has been defeated.
Speaking of defeated bills. It appears that SB1402 and 1715 are dead. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rusty Bowers (R-LD) did not assign either of the measures.
It also appears the Rep Payne is going to remove his hostile amendment to SB1324
