Rep. David Boyer
Representative David Boyer discussed his bill on senatorial appointments by the governor, which requires the appointee to be from the same party as the vacated seat. The bill passed the House with bipartisan support but was tabled in the Senate by Democrats. Boyer noted the bill’s previous failure and recent success, with a 90-9 vote in the House. He proposed an amendment to allow unenrolled replacements to address concerns. Boyer also highlighted upcoming legislative issues, including revenue shortfalls, paid family leave reforms, and a bill requiring lobbyist disclosure for executive branch procurement and rulemaking.
