I missed that part through this whole process! That's great!

I missed that part through this whole process! That's great!

I was listening to the live feed when it was being discussed in one of the chambers... The House, IIRC... And the 180 day thing was apparently requested by ISP because they knew they'd already be swamped with requests for the Lifetime as it was. Four years later, they're past that worry, so they opened it up. I'm wondering if a year or so from now, the time restriction will be removed entirely.

Either way, this is a bill over which there is no argument nor disagreement in our community. The newsies will have the papers full of whiny editorials tomorrow, but I think we expected that anyway. Any bets on whether any of them publish the whole database in it's entireity before the law becomes effective?

I'm pleased to see that this is through and enacted. Effective date: 1 July 2010.

DAMN! I was reading this the whole time thinking it was HB1065. Great news either way though!

SWEET!
Now watch the Indy Star and Herald Times try and take credit for it becoming law!

If they do, CALLING KIRK FREEMAN WE HAVE A INGO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDING TO BE FILED.

I'm not sure we do. If it's not effective yet, it's not law. I'm not sure how a civil suit would fare.

Blessings,

No if the papers write a story about it all, they will be finding a way to show how it will cause people to get slaughtered in the streets with no way to trace who did it.

But I'm not bitter.

I bet the editorial pages in those papers will be full of entertaining articles over the next few days. Who bets on a "attack on the public's right to know" line?

Thanks to everyone on this, especially 2A Patriots and locally SC_Shooter for their efforts directly with legislators.

See? We can change the law when we want to, and when we are smart about it (bridge building on information security, etc).

Thanks to everyone and the HT can explain to the other papers how it peed in the pool and ruined their party.

The funny thing about this is that I warned the HT reporter that this would happen before he wrote the paper. And I only half believed it when I said it!

You guys rock. Congrats to all!

I am happy to have been a part in this. I have never written my representatives in support of any legislation before this, and the H-T only pushed me over the edge to do it this time. I wrote everyone I could think of asking for support of this bill. I hate the Herald-Times more than you'll ever know, and canceled my subscription after they published this database and stood by it. Now I think I will renew it for a month and go smear it in their faces on their comment section.

Yay for 1068!!!

Great news! Just proves, once again, that we live in one of the greatest states in America.
