Bill > SR702

This senate resolution suspends a specific rule (Senate Rule 12.03) to allow the conference committee working on House Bill 3642 (which relates to memorial highways and highway signs) to modify the bill's text in a particular way. Specifically, the resolution permits the committee to remove a section about designating a portion 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 chambers covering the same subject matter. The suspension is authorized under Senate Rule 12.08 and would enable the committee to omit text that is not currently in dispute between the House and Senate versions of the bill. This procedural move allows the legislature to streamline the bill's final language and avoid redundant provisions by removing a section that has been addressed through alternative legislation.
