Wrap: Democratic Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal says she hopes her amendment will make a statement to the commissioner about being upfront with information to legislators.

Republican Senator David Pearce expressed concerns about a possible repercussion of the amendment.

However, the amendment's statement got support from Republican Senator Kurt Shaefer, who said he agrees with some of her frustrations with government agencies.
