Bill > H3528

This house resolution amends Rule 5.1 of the House of Representatives' Rules, specifically addressing the introduction and referral of bills and resolutions. The key modification introduces a new provision that requires any bill or resolution sponsored by a majority of House members to be automatically placed on the House calendar for consideration, bypassing the standard committee referral process. Under the existing rules, bills are typically referred to appropriate committees by the Speaker for review, with the Speaker having the ability to delay referral for one legislative day. The amendment maintains other existing provisions, such as requirements for bills appropriating revenue to be sent to the Ways and Means Committee and allowing the Speaker to establish prefiling procedures. The resolution also includes provisions about sponsorship during non-session periods and restrictions on bill filing during election years, ensuring that bills sponsored by a majority of representatives will receive immediate calendar placement and potential consideration by the full House.
