Good Bills
Now that the 08 Scorecard is prepared, I thought we’d highlight some of the bills that were graded.
Here are some of the good bills from the 2008 Regular Session:
The best Pro-Growth bill that became law:
HB 44
One of the many, many issues that prevents health care from functioning as a market-based system is the lack of information. Information about price and quality are fundamental requirements for a functioning market. Creating this sort of transparency in the market is one of the important steps to reforming the system.
The best Pro-Growth bill that passed one house:
SB 14
The office of the Treasurer has little responsibility outside of printing checks and sitting on a few boards. It serves no role in checks or balances on the system that would support an argument for it continuing to be an elected office, serves no function that is exclusive to the office, is an unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars and should be eliminated.
Best Pro-Growth bill with no activity:
HB 105
Putting what our government spends online will help citizens be better informed.
