Reply to comment by OpelSmith in Lamont proposes allowing CT pharmacists to prescribe birth control by gabbydeben

Got links to that Republican bill?

Smells like bullshit.

E: Yeah it's bullshit. Not even a real bill. Just one sentence, practically written in crayon. Zero shot it's going to pass.

Most of this dude's bills are identical. Pie in the sky headlines, zero chance of passing into law without being completely rewritten by someone competent, or, I should say, even written in the first place. Full of tax cuts for the super rich and benefit cuts for the poor. https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&bill_num=SB00171&which_year=2023

Filing a one line proposed bill without language is standard at the start of session. If others support the concept, the committee can vote to “draft” it into a full bill.

I'll need a citation on that standard. Willing to be corrected. Amendments? Sure.

Not something like this. They at least copy and paste a few paragraphs some lawyer sent in.

I guess you think it's going to pass too, or do we at least half agree?

Look at the list of bills filed in the house last wednesday. Plenty of one-sentence concepts. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2023/lob/h/pdf/2023HLB00118-R00-LOB.pdf

I’d expect the governors bill will have more legs than that of some random member of the minority party

They’ve been all on my comment calling them out for blowing smoke but can’t reply to your evidence that they don’t know what they’re talking about lmao

You obviously don’t understand how this works, so the arrogance of “I’ll need a citation” instead of looking it up yourself is…. Interesting.

You're right I should have just replied with "no you're wrong" instead of....gasp....asking for evidence. What was I thinking.

I did click around for a while. And do somewhat regularly, when a bill interests me professionally.

Can't say in all my years I remember seeing so many one liners as I did from Fazio. Virtually all of his bills.

Even clicking random bills from random other reps and senators, I didn't find any.

I did GR in CT for 6 years. This is a well-established norm.

Not a fan of those republicans, but that is what every proposed bill always looks like. Proposed bills are filed by individual lawmakers, not by committees. Committee Bills are what actually become law, but it is normal for them to be based on the barebones concepts that are in proposed bills.
