3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“While appellants argue that the failure to expressly provide for delegation in the statute prior to the 2007 amendment indicates that no such delegation power existed previously, legislative intent suggests the contrary.... [T]he legislative history of the 2007 amendment reflects that the purpose of S.B. 384 ... was clarifying that the Legislative Policy Committee may delegate its authority to issue subpoenas[.] In addition, the record reflects that the Attorney General’s Office testified before the House Rules Committee that the purpose was to resolve any disputes over subpoenas and witnesses’ refusal to answer questions ... and that the legislation merely codifies the ability of the Legislative Policy Committee to delegate its subpoena power. (Emphasis added. Citations and quotation marks omitted.)”
