Sen. Floyd Prozanski, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Thursday he’s delaying the vote because an amendment has been introduced. He says the committee will now be voting on Monday. The bill mandates all gun buyers and sellers who aren’t close relatives to visit a licensed gun dealer who can run a background check through the Oregon State Police. The Republican-proposed amendment would remove the background check requirements from the bill.
