The JFC is meeting today and Rep. Dennis Williams asked the media to leave. Apparently, they are doing a “work to rule” deal today — since HB1 isn’t yet signed by Governor Markell, it isn’t a law they have to abide by. Technically correct, but one wonders how long it will take to even get this scheduled for signature. The sports betting bill got signed with great fanfare very quickly after passage, so how is it that this bill — one that has been around for awhile — gets the appearance of slow walking.
So what is going on here? Using procedures to delay the signing so that the GA doesn’t have to live with these rules until next session?
