People on the Move

lobby moves, staffing changes, and more

Bill filing is done and the best caption nominees have been named. Among them:

Relating to the regulation of raising or keeping six or fewer chickens by a political subdivision

Relating to the random drug testing of members of the legislature during a legislative session

Relating to egg grading

Relating to the personal use exemption for domestic rabbit meat.

Relating to an annual football game between The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University

Thanks to former Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale for always compiling the list. Here’s one I thought he missed: "Relating to a prohibition on the sale of prophylactics containing nitrosamines.” Turns out that one was included in the original list but it has to be whittled down to 50 entries. May the funniest caption win, but as Parliamentarian Sharon Carter said during a recent event, don’t rely too heavily on the caption when trying to revive your dead bill. The body of the legislation is going to guide decisions on germaneness, Carter said. Good luck.

Meantime, there are lobby moves, staffing changes, and more to tell you about. To share your career news – or move of a friend or adversary – email it to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the subject line.

Thank ya.

Here’s this week’s edition of People on the Move:
