HB687 – relative to extreme risk protection orders – will face a full House vote this January. But, it moves to the full House without recommendation from committee after a deadlocked 10-10 vote on the Ought to Pass recommendation. The Inexpedient to Legislate (kill the bill) motion failed 9 to 11.
