Very few bills pass unamended.

Mine included.

Concerns raised at a public hearing are addressed, I hope, by the amendments we drafted for one bill.

Lowering the cost are the crux of amendments to two of my bills that will be heard this week. A pilot program in one or two counties is possible, but the price tag for a state-wide program will doom my legislation.

I’ve written the deputy general counsel at the Washington Post twice about issues raised about my bill that’s in a subcommittee. His legal advice has been transformed into amendments.

The Attorney General’s Office has informed me that a recent Supreme Court decision necessitates a change to another of my bills.

The amendments I will submit this week share one thing in common.

Changes will be made to them if my bills move forward.
