A bill to appoint three expert commissioners to draft and report on proposed legislation aims to reduce imperfect or conflicting laws. The measure, inspired by England, would ensure ready amendments and language changes and be published with bills for each member prior to floor debate.

The discussion includes prison reform and county ownership of jails, with cost comparisons across counties.
