House puts off guns-on-campus debate for a day

The guns-on-campus bill, HB 222, was scheduled to come up for debate and a vote in the full House this morning, but when its turn arrived, House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star, rose and said, “We’re going to wait for a little bit more information on HB 222. There’s a couple of questions we needed answers to, and so with that, I’d ask unanimous consent that HB 222 hold its place on the 3rd Reading Calendar for one legislative day.” No one objected, so the bill was held. The measure, from Rep. Erik Simpson, R-Idaho Falls, would remove the authority of Idaho’s colleges and universities to ban guns anywhere on campus except in undergraduate residence halls.
