| Bill Number | Bill Description | Bill Status | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
HB 195 Good Policy |
Municipalities; authorize those of certain size to conduct special elections at one polling place. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill reduces government spending and increases government efficiency as it relates to the process of managing special elections in municipalities with populations of 2,500 or less. | ||||
|
HB 274 Bad Policy |
Law enforcement officers; allow certain use of uniform, weapon, vehicle and equipment for disaster relief when off-duty. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill reduces government efficiency and could potentially lead to increased government spending. County and municipal law enforcement resources should be used for county and municipal law enforcement. Additional use outside of the confines of the specific purpose for which that specific taxpayer money was collected and spent is improper and a misappropriation of resources. This bill is in direct contradiction with other state statutes which forbid this type of reallocation of resources. | ||||
|
HB 320 Good Policy |
Perpetual care cemeteries; authorize counties and cities to clean property of those not properly maintained. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill provides a mechanism for counties and cities to address neglected perpetual care cemeteries integrating existing procedures regarding nuisance properties in conjunction with new code outlining procedures for obtaining repayment for services from trusts for the perpetual care cemeteries through the Secretary of State’s office. This bill makes positive changes to existing law by incorporating common sense solutions to real problems requiring specific actions within the proper role of government. | ||||
|
HB 1157 Good Policy |
Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; allow municipalities to authorize operation on certain municipal streets. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill removes an unnecessary restriction on individuals’ day freedom of movement within municipalities. | ||||
|
HB 1245 Neutral |
MDOT; require maintenance of rights-of-way of state highways inside municipal limits with 10,000 or less population. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill specifies the responsible party for maintenance of state highways inside specific municipal limits. While the government should seek to reduce overall spending, essential core functions of government must be maintained. These functions include the maintenance of our roads and their rights-of-way to ensure the safety of our citizens. The responsible party for performing this core function should be the state as the specific rights-of-way addressed in this bill are on state highways. | ||||
