-
SB 940 makes “vote trading” illegal for legislators, ensuring they put their constituents first and not vote based on future promises of campaign contributions.
-
SB 853 places high-ranking agency and elected officials under oath when testifying before the Legislature. This is the ordinary procedure in the U.S. Congress.
