Bill > H5013

This resolution amends section 37(a) of the House Rules for 2023 and 2024 by adding a new requirement that the presiding officer must publish and make available to the House a compilation of House procedures that are not already covered in the existing House Rules or in Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure. Mason's Manual is a widely used reference guide published by the National Conference of State Legislatures that provides procedural guidance for legislative bodies when their own rules do not explicitly address a specific situation. The amendment aims to increase transparency and provide clearer guidance for House proceedings by creating a comprehensive document that fills potential procedural gaps not already addressed by the standard rulebook or reference manual.
