Bill > HR0016

This resolution amends Rule 66 of the Illinois House of Representatives, specifically addressing the procedures for motions to adjourn. The key change relates to motions to adjourn for more than three days, which previously required both chambers of the General Assembly to adopt a joint resolution. Under the new provision, such a motion can now be immediately placed on the Daily Calendar for consideration by the House, rather than being automatically considered and adopted. The amendment also clarifies that a motion to adjourn to a time certain must specify a date and time limited to the same or next scheduled legislative day, and cannot be for a date when the House is not scheduled to convene. Additional technical details include maintaining existing rules that motions to adjourn are not debatable or amendable, and requiring the Clerk to record the hour of such motions in the Journal.
