Bill > HR1491

This resolution suspends certain limitations on the conference committee's jurisdiction for House Bill 3556, which relates to the construction of structures in counties containing national wildlife refuges. Specifically, the resolution allows the conference committee two key modifications to the bill: first, to change the height requirement for structures requiring Parks and Wildlife Department review from 500 to 575 feet, and second, to add new language giving the Parks and Wildlife Commission explicit authority to adopt rules implementing the section. By invoking House Rule 13, Section 9(f), the resolution temporarily lifts restrictions that would normally prevent the conference committee from making such changes to text not originally in disagreement or adding entirely new provisions. This procedural move provides flexibility in finalizing the legislative details of the bill, ensuring that technical corrections and necessary rule-making authority can be incorporated before the bill's final passage.
