House bill now on calendar

In the interworkings of the statehouse a bill was placed on the calendar today 2/16, HF2439 (formerly HSB 721) which reads:
Section 1. WEAPONS PERMITS == ISSUANCE. It is the intent of
the general assembly to enact a law relating to the issuance of
permits to carry weapons and to provide for related matters.
EXPLANATION
This bill expresses the intent of the general assembly
to enact a law relating to the issuance or permits to carry
weapons and to provide for related matters.
No other bill for reformation of concealed carry laws in Iowa made it out of committee before the Friday 2/12 deadline. This bill was created to allow one of the other house bills to be attached later (or so the theory goes).

This states that the house intends to pass something (although not obligated) regarding our concealed carry laws. There doesn't appear to be a recorded vote by the house on this.
