Williams said that the law will make the state to retain its pride of place in the committee of State legislatures such that it will also ensure that appointment, promotion, and discipline of legislative staff will be brought before the purview of the Legislature.

An analysis of the Bill under review shows that only one Executive Bill was passed by the House while the rest were Private Bills.
