"Title Only" Bills introduced For Budget in Olympia

From the Associated Press:

As state lawmakers push forward into tough budget negotiations, they are proposing a stack of "title-only" bills relating to a wide range of budget issues.

Sen. Ed Murray, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, introduced 22 such bills, which contain only a brief – and often vague – description of what they would do.

The measures proposed by the Seattle Democrat cover a broad scope of budget provisions, relating to everything from "fiscal matters" and "state government" to "criminal justice" and "higher education."

Lawmakers say title-only bills provide flexibility while helping them to avoid missing deadlines.
