During discussion of HB 687 at the Judiciary Subcommittee A meeting on May 18th, Rep. Brawley is asked why a revision to the legislation was made by Deborah Ross. His answer in the following video shows us how much influence the bar association has in the general assembly.
Short Description of HB 687
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT WHEN CITIES AND COUNTIES ENACT ORDINANCES OR TAKE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS FOR WHICH THERE IS NO STATUTORY AUTHORITY, AND THE ORDINANCE OR ACTION IS AN ABUSE OF AUTHORITY, THE PLAINTIFF MAY RECOVER ATTORNEY FEES.
It appears that the intent of this legislation is not so much to protect us from government but allow attorneys to make more money.
