Rifles in western NY

[Sylvan]

Just checked on the status of S00858,a bill that would allow use of rifle for big game in Steuben, Yates and Chemung counties in NY. Something happened yesterday. Anybody know what it means?



S00858 Actions:BILL NO S00858

01/11/2007 REFERRED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
02/27/2007 RECOMMIT, ENACTING CLAUSE STRICKEN

The bill was amended and sent back to the Senate where it has to be voted on again and then to the Assembly for their vote. Not sure what was amended, although looking at the bill it still shows the old big game hunting dates and not the new Saturday opener. If I had to guess, I would guess that it won't get passed this year.

Hmmmmm... Don't peddle your slug guns YET, boys and girls...

Anybody looking for a mdl 88

I wish they'd open Steuben for rifles. But, if they don't, I'll just bowhunt there and go to Kentucky with the rifle. WHATEVER!!!

The enacting clause is the statement at the end of a bill which says something like "This law shall take effect on January 1, 2007." When it is removed/stricken from a bill it means the bill is dead.

The proposal was reintroduced as A-6064/S-3219.

That's better info than what Winner's office gave me yesterday, and he co-sponsered the bill. Thanks

After reading the article I have come to the conclusion that ANYONE who says things like "and with more accuracy than a rifle, he said." Should consider therapy......... sheesh...
