The dove hunting bill, which took 5 minutes in the Senate, will come up for debate as an amendment to a raccoon hunting bill. If there is a question of germainess (whether or not it actually pertains to the bill) and the dove hunting amendment is found not germaine, then the Republicans will suspend the rules and vote on it anyway.
It came up for debate today, and boy do I have the sense for politics! Darn. The amendment was found not germaine, but the rules were suspended. So, once it goes to the governor and he signs it into law, it will be legal to hunt mourning doves in Iowa. As I was working at the switchboard, several calls came in one after the next with people strongly for and strongly against dove hunting.
Other bills passed include SF 464, HF 454, SF 429, HF 473, SF 233, SF 299, SF 361, HF 597, and HF 643.
