Bill > HRes125

This Resolution sets the rules for further consideration of H.B. 5, a bill aimed at improving public education by supporting state and local accountability, safeguarding local control, and ensuring parents are informed about their children's school performance. Specifically, it allows the Speaker to bring the bill before the House of Representatives for debate in the Committee of the Whole, a procedural step where amendments are discussed. The resolution dictates that a specific amended version of the bill will be considered, replacing an earlier proposed amendment. This amended bill will then be treated as the original for further amendment purposes, with all objections to its provisions waived. Only specific, pre-selected amendments, detailed in a report from the Committee on Rules, will be allowed, and these will be debated under strict time limits and cannot be further amended. Finally, after all amendments are considered, the bill will be sent back to the House for a final vote, with only one opportunity for a motion to recommit (send it back for further changes) allowed.
