Bill 119 s 55, also known as the "Preserving Congressional Authority and Transparency Act," aims to uphold the constitutional authority of Congress and promote accountability and transparency in the legislative process. The bill seeks to address concerns about the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of government.
One key provision of the bill is the requirement for all legislation to clearly state the constitutional authority under which it is being enacted. This is intended to ensure that Congress is acting within its constitutional limits and not overstepping its authority. Additionally, the bill includes measures to enhance transparency in the legislative process, such as requiring all bills to be made publicly available online for a minimum of 72 hours before a vote can be taken.
Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to strengthen oversight of federal agencies and ensure that they are held accountable for their actions. This includes requiring agencies to provide regular reports to Congress on their activities and spending, as well as establishing mechanisms for Congress to review and potentially overturn agency regulations.
Overall, Bill 119 s 55 aims to promote a more accountable and transparent legislative process, while also reaffirming the constitutional authority of Congress. It seeks to ensure that lawmakers are acting within their constitutional limits and that the public is able to fully understand and participate in the legislative process.
