IN RE: | HB54 by Branch (Relating to requiring a record vote by each house of the legislature on final passage of a bill and to public notice of the record vote.), As Introduced |
Both the House and the Senate estimate there would be some costs to publish record votes, but neither can quantify the costs.
The bill requires a record vote by either house of the legislature on final passage of a bill including votes on concurrence of the other house's amendments and votes on the adoption of conference committee reports. Record votes shall be published in the journals of each house and on the Internet.
