Location Old State Library



Proposal to Discontinue Legislation Review by OLLS - Proposal approved


08:18:34 AM  

Jennifer Berman, Managing Senior Attorney, Office of Legislative Legal Services, testified before the Committee. Ms. Berman presented a proposal to repeal legislation review letters, which are letters sent out to each executive department on an annual basis to let them know of all of the bills that passed in the previous session that require rule making.

Senator Gardner, Ms. Berman, and Julie Pelegrin, Deputy Director, Office of Legislative Legal Services, discussed what action the Office was requesting the Committee take.

Representative Weissman expressed his support for the motion and also mentioned that the Attorney General's office, as counsel for the executive branch agencies, provides the same notice to agencies as the letters.
