The Massachusetts Senate is seeking a non-binding advisory opinion from the state Supreme Judicial Court on two proposed ballot initiatives. One aims to regulate lawmakers extra stipends, while the other seeks to increase public access to legislative and governors office records. The Senate faces a May fifth deadline, and a court ruling of unconstitutionality could lead to other actions. Officials raise concerns about potential conflicts with the Legislatures power and separation of powers, as well as protections for lawmakers debates and deliberations.
