State of Michigan gun reform package of 11 legislations advances from committee to full senate
LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan Senate committee voted to advance a raft of proposed gun safety measures on to the full senate for a vote in the coming days.
The 5-2 vote, which occurred during a packed Thursday morning hearing at the Binsfeld Office Building across the street from the state capitol, broke, as anticipated, along party lines.
It marked the second session held by the Senate Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety in as many weeks following a March 2 hearing that featured testimony from mass shooting survivors and victims of gun violence.
The move followed Wednesday's historic victory for house democrats, who voted to expand the state's background check protocols, a component of its own, overarching gun reform package.
