HB 752 deserves mention because it was overhauled radically in committee. Basically, it wipes out almost all constitutional guardrails for legislative sessions, most of which in fact are good but it leaves no constitutional protection for things such as last-minute introduction and passage of bills. For that reason, it remains bad.
