This bill establishes limits on the number of legislative measures that various state officials and bodies can request the Legislative Counsel, the office responsible for drafting legislation, to prepare during regular legislative sessions that begin in odd-numbered years, starting with the 2027 session. Specifically, individual members of the Legislative Assembly are limited to 25 requests, committees to 15, and the Governor and state agencies collectively to 200, with some exceptions. Other statewide elected officials like the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, and the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, as well as the Judicial Department, are each limited to 15 requests. The bill also allows the Senate and House Rules Committees to request additional measures on behalf of others and permits a requester to ask for one additional measure after their initial measure has passed its first legislative chamber. The bill declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon being signed into law.
