For all the fanfare and the legal rigmarole of Illinois' ban on semiautomatic weapons, it might come as a surprise to learn the legislation was titled 'Insurance Code-Public Adjusters.'
SPRINGFIELD -- For all the fanfare and the legal rigmarole of Illinois' ban on semiautomatic weapons, it might come as a surprise to learn the legislation was titled"Insurance Code-Public Adjusters."
Less than four weeks old, the provision -- now known as the"Protect Illinois Communities Act" -- has prompted lawsuits at a rate of more than one every four days. Four cases have landed in federal court, arguing a straightforward principle: the ban violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "Perhaps some of the plaintiffs' training is equal to, or superior to, that of the exempted classes," the appellate court said in its opinion granting the temporary restraining order.
Just before the final Senate reading on Jan. 9, the weapons ban was substituted as the subject -- a routine tactic known colloquially as a"gut and replace." In a General Assembly solidly under Democrats' control, the new content hastily won Senate approval, succeeded in a mere concurrence vote in the House and was sent to Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker to become a gun ban.
The single-subject rule is older than Illinois itself. It dates to 1795 when an approval to sell large swaths of land to presumably favored companies was buried in Georgia legislation, according to a 2009 Loyola University Law Journal article by Michael Kasper. He is a former Illinois House parliamentarian who now represents Democratic Speaker Emanuel"Chris" Welch in three state-court gun lawsuits.
It's been even less zealous on the three-readings rule, aside from a 1990s case in which the high court noted the Legislature's"remarkably poor self-discipline in policing itself."
