MOTION

    Senator Patterson moved that the following amendment be adopted:

     On page 2, line 32, after "authority" insert ", only if the elected official is not currently seeking election"

    Debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

    Senator West: “Senator Patterson, is it your intent or is it a potential unintended consequence, perhaps, that this amendment would prevent a Senator that is up for reelection from submitting a letter to the editor, which would also be printed on the editorial pages and prevent us from exercising our free speech rights?”

    Senator Patterson: “Thank you, Senator West. No, that is not my intent. My intent is simply to prevent politicians who are running for state office from using public facilities and state employees to express their opinions on ballot issues in the newspapers in an election year. Now, I want to make it clear that those opinions that the different caucuses, for instance, might have can still be expressed because half of the Senate is not up for election.”

    Senator West: “Senator Patterson, if I don't use any of my personal staff--my Senate staff--don't use any of my caucus staff, I can write--and I am a pretty good writer myself actually--I could write a guest editorial? How would anybody--?”

    Senator Patterson: “My intent is to prevent us from using state facilities and state employees. My intention is not to prevent you from expressing yourself if you use your own computer at home.”

    The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of the amendment by Senator Patterson on page 2, line 32, to Senate Bill No. 5271.

    The motion by Senator Patterson carried and the amendment was adopted on a rising vote.

MOTION

    On motion of Senator Horn, the rules were suspended, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5271 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.

    Debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

    Senator Johnson: “Senator Patterson, the language of the amendment--I'm sorry I'm not looking at the bill--says, 'Only if the elected official is not currently seeking election.' I think under Public Disclosure Commission Rules, the minute you receive a dollar, even though the election is a year or two away, you are a candidate. Maybe that's not the same, but it is something that I am asking you about.”

    Senator Patterson: “Thank you, Senator Johnson. The intent of the amendment is to make that period of time begin the day that you file for reelection. That is what the intent of the amendment is.”

    Further debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

    Senator Deccio: “Senator Patterson, let me give you a scenario. You are a candidate, so you can't use a guest editorial on a ballot issue or whatever, but your opponent who is supported by the paper is asked to do a guest editorial and he does. What opportunity do you have to respond to that in the same fashion that your opponent did--the way that your amendment reads?”

    Senator Patterson: “Thank you, Senator Deccio, for that question. You would have the same opportunity to respond, Senator, but you would not be able to use state facilities, you would not be able to use your legislative assistant, or any of the state employees to provide that opinion to the newspaper. That is what the amendment is all about, Senator. You can use your own computer at home or your typewriter or your office at home. As long as it is not being supported with tax payers dollars, it is fine.”

    Further debate ensued.

POINT OF INQUIRY

    Senator Schow: “Senator Patterson, are you saying that if I'm not--if I haven't declared as a candidate, then I could use state facilities to answer that guest editorial that somebody else wrote? Well, if someone who is going to be an opponent of mine sometime in the future wrote an article against a guest editorial, but I hadn't declared yet that I was going to be a candidate--I hadn't officially declared--then I could then use my office or state facilities to answer it as long as he or she did this before I had declared?”

    Senator Patterson: “Senator, the intent of the amendment is to prevent us from using state facilities and state employees to respond to a ballot measure, when invited by a newspaper after that period of time which we file for reelection or for election for public office. The intent is not to prevent you from responding with your own personal computer or facilities. Maybe, it would help to put your mind at ease--I would be willing to help those of you with concerns to clarify this amendment in the House. The intent for the record, I think, should be very clear. You may use your own personal computer to express yourself during election time, but you simply may not use state facilities.“

    Further debate ensued.

MOTION

    On motion of Senator Johnson, further consideration of Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5271 was deferred.
