Council-led Legislation

The Executive subcommittee discussed strategies for introducing legislation related to modifying Council statute and appropriation of funds to increase the Council’s base budget. The committee discussed the benefits and risks of a single bill versus two separate bills. Currently, a bill is set to be submitted to the Senate solely addressing statutory changes to assist in facilitating task forces and possibly appropriate funds for a gene therapy task force. Rep Murphy raised concerns around submitting a bill that may need modifications, be combined with another bill. Consensus was reached that the bill could be submitted with the expectation that more discussion and modification would be needed.
