Rand Paul puts forward measure that would force the Senate to read bills - The Hill's Floor Action
Sen. Rand Paul has introduced legislation that would force the Senate to
give its members one day to read bills for every 20 pages they contain.
"For goodness sakes, this is a 600-page bill. I got it this morning," Paul said Friday, according
to The Hill, just before the Senate approved a massive bill extending
highway funding, federal flood insurance and low student loans rates.
"Not one member of the Senate will read this bill before we vote on it," he added.
Paul also introduced related legislation Friday, S. 3359, that would
prohibit the inclusion of more than one subject in a single bill.
