Senate President Mike Miller is making changes to chamber
rules that he hopes will result in a busier workload during the early
weeks of the legislature’s 90-day annual session.
“We respect and appreciate the fact that we are part-time
General Assembly,” Miller said. “We need to make each of those workdays
productive. We’re battling against human nature, which for most people
means putting off issues that could be dealt with today.”
Miller said he hopes that the governor’s office and state
agency leaders will work to ensure their bills are introduced before the
session begins, as opposed to waiting until later in session. Many of
the bills coming from the administration make sweeping policy changes.
