Bill > H4340

This bill establishes special procedures for the consideration of Senate Bill No. 735, which concerns transgender anti-discrimination, by the House of Representatives. It mandates that amendments to this bill, or substitute text, must be filed electronically with the Clerk of the House by a specific deadline, May 27, 2016, at 5 PM, with exceptions for amendments from the committee on ways and means. The Clerk will then notify the primary sponsor of each amendment and print it, making it the official version. The bill also clarifies that no unrelated propositions can be introduced as further amendments, though members can remove their amendments from a consolidated amendment to offer them individually before the consolidated amendment is voted on. Importantly, consolidated amendments cannot be divided, and any amendment not following these special rules will be considered withdrawn.
