Bills Filed Today

Update: Closer scrutiny to Amendment 14 and the Wilson v. Weiss case from a few years ago have really cut down on the number of appropriations bills in the legislature. Some General Improvement Funds do serve a true statewide purpose, and the House has come up with a mechanism to fund rural fire departments, senior citizens centers, etc. through an omnibus bill that sets up a grant system for that purpose. House Budget Co-Chair Bruce Maloch is in the position of scouring bills filed today and will have to be one of the people obligated to ask members to withdraw a bill if it appears on its face to violate the "special and local" legislation prohibition.
