The two proposals in this Report for legislation (a) to permit filing of bills and resolutions in advance of a regular session of the General Assembly and (b) to advance the early deadline already provided by law for the introduction of charter and similar bills, merit consideration by the 1969 Special Session of the General Assembly for the following reasons:

First, these proposals are basically simple measures which can easily be put into effect so that they will contribute to the smoother functioning of the 1970 Regular Session of the General Assembly if enacted in 1969. Their basic purpose is to spread the workload of the Assembly over the full span of the Session by lessening the slack of early days and reducing the logjam at the close of the Session.
