Normally in July unless the bill has an "emergency effect" provision.I'm going to ask this because I'm completely ignorant how this works... Let's say they vote tomorrow and it passes and the Governor signs it Friday. When does the law take effect?

Has anyone heard anything from Bosma other than the usual rhetoric? Has he made any indication at all that he will allow 1022 to the floor?
Tried asking Rep. Lucas on his FB page about the status and all he says is he's working on it. He seems preoccupied with weed and booze this term, honestly.

I understand smelling a win, and it's unusual for a conservative to be pro med-MJ (I guess), but this is an old battle that's gaining ground all the way around us (except Illinois but they don't count). One guy is keeping it from a vote. Again. Why can't we get pressure on him? Can you feel the frustration? Ha.
Well... I reckon there are far worse things to be preoccupied with.
While I'm OK with both, they are not hills to die on as far as I'm concerned.
Is Jim looking at the US 9th district?From Jim's perspective - IF he has aspirations of DC - the future of conservatism in the US (IMHO) is to pick much better "hills to die on". There are so many that conservatives in the past have died on and lost elections because people quite honestly - conservatives too - don't want to fight those battles any more. We want a growing economy and a balanced budget. I think conservatives that want to win better have answers that are further from "moral" issues, and closer to economic ones. Kentucky is making a HUGE amount of money in medical MJ. That's how you turn a moral issue into an economic one...and if a conservative wins a battle like that one in "conservative" Indiana, he may see himself headed to DC (if that's where he wants to go).

I know several of us are keeping an eye out for 1022 or 1424 to get on the agenda in committee. It'll happen fast...

Conservative is a pretty diverse landscape. Fiscal issues are probably the issue most common to the most conservatives. So I'd say you're right about that. And if it's the 9th district, I'd be down with that too. I'm not all that sure about Hollingsworth. I'd be more sure about a guy like Lucas.
1422 carrying in church is out there too. One bill combining all three maybe? I agree on the co-authors and roles, jumped out at me too.I am speculating - but between the similarities - and differences - and co-authorships - and shared committee roles....
if an amendment to 1 or the other is not being developed behind the scenes (as happens)
and then they will bring that 1 to the committee with the combined amendment in place.
in an effort to make it "best of both" to draw in more votes and support ...
Apparently the house shot down Sunday sales so maybe they can get off their arses and bring 1022 and 1424 up now
