Sorry to say it's not speculation any longer.  Note the wording at the end of the first section 1 of the proposed House bill and tell me to my face that I was wrong when I said that there would be an effort to exempt the Legislature from the BEP.

The Legislature is in session tomorrow, with the senate starting at 10:00 AM and the House beginning at 1:30 PM.
