Bill > HCR106

This concurrent resolution establishes a new joint rule for the Texas Legislature regarding bill numbering, effective from the 90th Regular Legislative Session. The resolution mandates that after a bill passes both legislative chambers, the clerk of the house or secretary of the senate will enroll the bill and assign it a unique Texas Legislative Act number using existing enrollment technology. When a bill is enrolled, it must display the Texas Legislative Act number on its face and remove the original house bill number from the front of the document (though the original bill number can still be referenced in passage certification). Once assigned, all future references to the bill in legislative journals, messages between houses, and communications with the governor must use only the Texas Legislative Act number. Furthermore, these act numbers will be published and maintained in the electronic legislative information system, indexed by bill number and, when applicable, by the session law chapter number assigned by the secretary of state. This standardization aims to create a more consistent and organized method of tracking legislative documents.
