What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, a legislator who is intentionally absent without leave for three

consecutive days on which a roll call vote is taken during a biennial legislative

session is subject to a fine of $500 per day. Under the bill, venue for prosecuting this

crime is any county that the legislator represents at the time he or she is absent

without leave.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
