Bill filing continues, and one found its way onto the list:


THE BAD

SB 690 by Sen. Robert Adley would force parties to accept no-party registrants into their closed primaries (at the federal level), which not only detracts from parties’ abilities to control nomination of their candidates, but also probably is unconstitutional.
