S.724 Held Over in Senate Judicary Committee
Senate 724, (S.724), a bill to exempt hobby rocketry propellant from regulation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, has been introduced into the United States Senate by Sen. Michael Enzi. The NAR is supporting this bill and
trying to insure that NAR members are aware of its status as it makes its way through the Congress. These messages are
supplied by the NAR's legislative liasion, John Kyte, and will be posted here as we receive information on significant
developments.
The Enzi bill, S.724, was held over in the Senate Judiciary Committee today, as expected, by Sen. Hatch on the premise that progress is being made toward an agreement. We continue to work with the staffs of Sens. Enzi, Hatch and Kohl to discuss options, but the weight limits being proposed are extremely low. No commitments or agreements of any kind have been made.
Discussions will not resume until Monday. Members should expect no further updates until at least Monday, June 16. 2003.
IMPORTANT: It is NOT necessary or helpful for members to take action at this time.
As John passes further developments along, I'll post them here.
