AI Summary

This bill limits the number of legislative measures that can be requested from the Legislative Counsel (LC) during regular legislative sessions beginning in odd-numbered years. Specifically, individual members of the Legislative Assembly are restricted to 25 measure requests, while legislative committees are limited to 15 measure requests. The Governor and state agencies are collectively limited to 400 measure requests, with exceptions for certain budget implementation measures. Other statewide elected officials, including the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, and Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, are each limited to 25 measure requests. The Judicial Department is allowed up to 100 measure requests. The bill provides flexibility by allowing the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives to authorize additional measure requests for members, committees, the Governor, and state agencies. These limitations are designed to streamline the legislative process and manage the workload of the Legislative Counsel, which is responsible for drafting and preparing legislative proposals.
