Relative to the secretary of state's procedures for enrolled bills.
This bill proposes to change the procedures the Secretary of State follows when handling enrolled bills, which are bills that have been approved by both legislative chambers and are ready to be sent to the governor. The bill aims to streamline and clarify these procedures to ensure they are efficient and transparent.
If passed, the changes would primarily affect the Secretary of State's office and the legislative process. It seeks to make the process more efficient by establishing clearer guidelines and potentially reducing delays.
As of May 1, 2025, the bill was deemed "inexpedient to legislate" by the Senate, effectively killing the bill. This decision followed a committee report that found the bill unnecessary and a voice vote in the Senate. The bill was initially introduced in January 2025 and passed through the House in March 2025, but it did not progress further in the Senate.
