Too Broad

Twice in five days.

I’ve had to deal with a drafting issue in a bill of mine.

This time, it was not a constitutional question.

It was a fiscal issue.

My bill is in response to one specific case.

However, the effect of the language would be very broad and, according to the opponents, costly.

There were 12 lawyers and lobbyists on today’s zoom in opposition.

Next summer and fall, when I make my bill drafting requests, I need to make sure they’re not too broad.

Better to revise the bill draft, instead of amending the bill.
