Bill > HRes713

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering H.B. 1309, a bill that would require employers in the healthcare and social service industries to create and implement plans to prevent workplace violence, directing the Secretary of Labor to create a safety standard for this purpose. It outlines that the House will go into a Committee of the Whole to debate and amend the bill, with specific time limits for debate and a process for considering amendments, including a modified substitute amendment and further amendments printed in the Rules Committee report, all while waiving points of order against these provisions. The resolution also addresses House proceedings between November 22, 2019, and December 2, 2019, allowing for the approval of the previous day's journal, the Chair to declare adjournment, and the Speaker to appoint members to perform the duties of the Chair. Additionally, it specifies that days within this period will not count as calendar or legislative days for certain procedural rules, and it permits the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules on November 21, 2019.
