Filing of bills has commenced again, which provides the week’s only action. None of the bills designated to date as good or bad were acted upon in any meaningful way in this abbreviated week.
Nonetheless, this week begins the weekly update of bill progress. I’m making a change in the way I count bills; now all bills considered as similar or companion bills to another will be counted separately.
THE GOOD:
HB 1247 by Rep. Frank Hoffman would prohibit health insurers from including elective abortion in any health care coverage.
THE UGLY:
HB 1235 by Rep. Austin Badon would allow cell phones to be used only in a hands-free configuration or for emergencies; the problem is not really with the idea but with impossible enforcement of a primary offense.
