Rule 4.7(2)

4.7—Reference to more than one committee; effect
(1) In case of multiple reference of a bill, it shall be considered by each
committee separately in the order in which the multiple reference is
made. However, if any committee to which the bill is referred makes an
unfavorable report on said bill, that report shall be filed with the Senate
and no further consideration given by other committees except by a twothirds
(2/3) vote of those Senators present.
(2) If a committee reports a bill favorably with committee substitute
or with any amendment which substantially amends the bill, the
President may change or correct the reference of the reported bill. This
Rule does not apply to a bill reported by a subcommittee unless the bill
has been withdrawn from the standing committee. Notice shall be given
to the Secretary and the introducer of the bill.

SUBJ: Support SB 234 – Don’t give in to the same forces that fought us in 1987

Dear Senator,

The Rules Committee, of which you are a member, will consider Senate Bill 234. This bill would restore the practice of open carry of firearms. The Florida Sheriffs Association has been lobbying heavily in opposition, citing misinformation and exaggeration. Please see the recent press release from Florida – Open-Carry.org

When you cast your vote on Friday, please consider the realities of open carry and do not give in to the emotional and misleading speculation designed to persuade you to make a bad decision. Please vote in favor of SB 234.

Respectfully yours,

<Insert only your name here>

Greetings and salutations!

However, that committee already met and passed the bill. It is now waiting to be voted on the senate floor. Check my thread called "SB234: The Final Countdown"
