One of the most interesting things that happens at the end of the legislative session is the common practice of taking a bill that has passed one body, stripping out all of its language and replacing it with a completely different bill.
Take H 752 for example. When it passed the House on May 7, it was a bill requiring the annual registration of farm vehicles.
It appeared yesterday in the Senate Commerce Committee where it was promptly stripped of its language and replaced with a bill that makes it harder for the Secretary of State to assess fees to lobbyists who file late disclosure reports.
Gotta love the last minute shenanigans!
