Bill > SJ00007

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would require emergency certified bills and resolutions to have signatures from four specific legislative leaders before they can be filed: the president pro tempore of the Senate, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the minority leader of the Senate, and the minority leader of the House of Representatives. An emergency certified bill or resolution is typically a legislative measure that is deemed urgent and requires immediate action, bypassing standard legislative procedures. By mandating signatures from both majority and minority leadership in both legislative chambers, the resolution aims to ensure broader consensus and oversight for legislation deemed emergent, potentially preventing unilateral or hasty legislative actions. The proposed constitutional amendment would add an extra layer of procedural scrutiny to the emergency certification process, requiring bipartisan approval from key legislative leaders before such bills or resolutions can advance.
