In lege-speak, a "vehicle bill" that exists basically to serve a shell for a strike-everything amendment ("striker") that's usually far more insidious and detrimental to society than the underlying bill.
Normally, such bills have "technical correction" in the working title, but this year, they've gotten creative. So far, none have that in the title.
Thus far, 14 actual bills have been introduced; of those, eight look to be vehicles for strikers.
Of the 14, nine were introduced by Ol' Reliable, John Kavanagh (R - CAP's Lapdog) (and he is listed as a co-sponsor of another); seven look to be strikers.
Some of the bills are about things like balloons, fair juries, and eyeglasses; not the sort of things that Republicans are known for giving a damn about.
One prediction: SB1007, working title "public school tax credit; purposes" will be turned into something to expand private school vouchers.
