Senate to take up measure altering bill publication
Today’s Senate calendar includes legislation that would require the Legislative Reference Bureau to publish acts on the day after enactment and would make that the official date of publication.
The bill was approved in committee 3-2 yesterday along party lines. In addition, bills that do not specifically state an effective date would become effective the day after publication.
The timing of bill publication by the secretary of state's office became an issue in 2011 during a lawsuit challenging the passage of Act 10, which curtailed collective bargaining powers for public employees.
The calendar also includes the appointments include Edward Wall as Corrections secretary and the re-appointment of Ellen Nowak to the PSC, along with several resolutions.
