This past week, I heard a bill introduced in the Government, Military and Veterans Committee by Sen. Justin Wayne. He believes the executive branch of our state government should not testify against bills introduced in the Legislature.
He believes people testifying on behalf of executive branch agencies should testify in the “neutral” capacity and not express an opinion for or against the bill. In his view, the executive branch is bound by oath to follow the laws passed by the Legislature. It calls into question their willingness to faithfully follow the laws and encroaches on the constitutional sovereignty of the legislature as a separate branch of State government. I think Sen. Wayne makes a valid point with his proposal.
