Senator Jon Tester today introduced his latest legislation to strengthen gun rights. Tester has introduced a bipartisan bill to prevent the obama administration from enacting any new-quote-“emergency” gun regulations. The bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms has asked for new rules to track gun purchases. A-t-f officials requested the new regulations to help fight violence on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Senate has approved a bill lawmakers say would help keep politicians from using public resources for political exposure. It would prevent elected officials and agency heads from appearing in public service announcements. Bill Sponsor Senator Ron Arthun of Wilsall says politicians can misuse them.
The Senate approved a measure requiring the board of medical examiners to provide an annual report on the number and types of complaints involving doctors who issue medical marijuana cards. Supporters say this would help track complaints... So lawmakers can address them in future legislation. But, Senator Jeff Essman of Billings says the bill wouldn't accomplish anything because it doesn't require the board to investigate who the doctors are.
