Bill > HR3

This Resolution amends the House Rules to require a higher threshold for approving certain changes made by the Senate to bills that have already passed the House. Specifically, it establishes a new rule, 11-24-6, which mandates that if a bill originally passed by the House is sent back by the Senate with an "emergency clause" (a provision that allows a law to take effect immediately upon passage, rather than after a waiting period), then agreeing to those Senate changes, known as "concurrence," will require an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members present in the House. This change is being made in accordance with existing House Rule 24-1, which outlines the procedures for amending House rules.
