I've been half-joking for decades about every law needing an expiration date. That way, they'll be so busy re-enacting good laws, that they won't have time to pass lousy ones.
But I've been recommending five years, not one.
I've also recommended having to repeal at least one law in order to pass another one and having the legislative sessions last only two weeks, and only every other year. Texas comes close to that ideal, I guess.
