Over 1000 bills filed. One lawmaker has reportedly opened 82
” So far, GOP House leaders have told their 62-member caucus, around 1,000 bill files have been open, a new record. . . . One old rule has already been abandoned: Leaders have instructed their staff attorneys to tell lawmakers with similar “secret” bills about each other’s ideas. That way two or 20 legislators who have opened “secret” bill files can talk to other legislators working on similar topics, and maybe duplicative work can be eliminated. Under the long-time practice, in the Utah Legislature the 104 part-time lawmakers can open a “protected” bill (really a secret bill) and no other legislators, nor the public, knows the legislation is being drafted.”
