Rep. Al Park's HB 190 got a do-pass this morning from the Senate Rules Committee. That's the one that would let candidates who don't get 20 percent of the delegates at a party pre-primary convention to petition to get on the ballot. The bill goes on to Senate Judiciary. On the House side, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee gave a do-pass to the mirror bill, SB 1, sponsored by Sen. Michael Sanchez. It goes to the House Voters and Elections Committee. Surely at least one of these will get through. But you never know.
Another interesting bill, Rep. Kenny Martinez's HB 438 -- which would allocate $176,000 to fix the Secretary of State's Web site and create a searchable database for campaign finance reports -- passed the House unanimously last week. It's on the Senate Rules Committee consent calendar for Tuesday, but still has to go tot the Senate Finance Committee before reaching the Senate floor.
UPDATE: I fixed the dollar amount for HB 438. I originally said the bill would allocate $176. Times aren't THAT bad here!
