Bill > HR1496

This resolution suspends a specific rule (House Rule 13, Section 9(a)) to allow the conference committee working on House Bill 3642 to modify the bill's text. The bill originally concerned designating portions of the state highway system as memorial highways and installing memorial markers. Specifically, the resolution permits the committee to omit text related to designating a section of U.S. Highway 67 in Dallas and Ellis Counties as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway" because another bill (Senate Bill 2790) has already passed both legislative houses addressing the same subject. By suspending the normal procedural limitations, the resolution gives the conference committee more flexibility to reconcile differences between the house and senate versions of the bill, ultimately streamlining the legislative process and avoiding redundant provisions.
