1. If a Legislator asks whether a request for a legislative measure relating to a specific topic has been submitted to the Legislative Counsel for a regular session, the Legislative Counsel shall disclose to that Legislator whether such a request has been submitted.
2. Upon receipt of a request for the drafting of a legislative measure which duplicates or closely resembles a request previously submitted for the same regular session, the Legislative Counsel shall, to the extent practicable, notify the Legislator or other requester submitting the duplicative request of that fact and, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, ask the Legislator or other requester to withdraw the request. If the request is not withdrawn, the Legislative Counsel shall inform the previous requester of the fact that a duplicative request has been made. If the request is submitted by a Legislator on the Legislator’s own behalf, and the previous request was submitted by a Legislator who is a member of the other House, the Legislative Counsel shall inform the second requester of the fact that the request is duplicative.
