Bill > H4381

This bill establishes special procedures for considering amendments to House Bill No. 4336, an act aimed at promoting energy diversity. It mandates that amendments, excluding those from the committee on Ways and Means (which handles financial matters), must be filed electronically with the Clerk of the House by a specific deadline, 11:30 AM on June 8, 2016, as determined by the Speaker. The Clerk will then notify the amendment's sponsor and assign it a number, with the printed version serving as the official amendment. The bill also clarifies that amendments must be on the same subject as the original bill, with an exception allowing members to withdraw their amendment from a consolidated amendment and offer it separately before the consolidated amendment is voted on. Importantly, consolidated amendments, which combine multiple proposed changes, cannot be divided for separate votes, and any amendment not following these rules will be considered withdrawn.
