legislate intent
I heard this said by someone. I looked in the dictionary and could not find the definition I was looking for. Have you seen this before? I came across legislative intent but not used as a verb.
How do you legislate intent? You're not in his head. You don't know if he did it on purpose.

I don't understand your comment. Can you use it as a verb or is it not possible? Does it mean what he is trying to say?

It refers to the intended purpose of the legislation. What were the lawmakers trying to accomplish?
