Brian said, “Moyle later introduced House Bill 14, instructing state agencies to examine Idaho statutes that relate to their mission and create a report for the Legislature on what can be consolidated or even cut.”
I still think the initial move should not be to ask the executive branch, which is in charge of law enforcement to tell the legislature (instead of it coming from the people) what laws need to be changed or gotten rid of. That said, I wouldn’t mind the executive branch’s input.
However, if the legislature had its own law offices, which I have now suggested for nearly 3 years after culling some legal positions from the AG‘s office, my proposed statute divided up the executive agencies for analysis within those law offices (one in the house, one in the Senate) so that the legislature could do its own analysis.
I see no problem working as a “team,” but the separation of powers requires more than passing it off to the executive and hoping for the best.
This is the siren song of power in Idaho code section 67-451A. Moyle doesn’t want to give up his free bucket of cash so that the rest of the House and Senate members can have legal services available within the legislative branch.
