This amends the Temporary Rules of the House of Representatives of the 152nd General Assembly to require legislation assigned to a committee be acted on by the committee unless the House prime sponsor or floor manager of the legislation requests the committee to not act on the legislation. If the legislation is not acted on by the committee within 12 legislative days, the legislation must be placed on the agenda for the committee’s next meeting time assigned under Rule 33(a) or a date agreed to by the Chair of the committee and the House prime sponsor or floor manager of the legislation and must be heard and acted on at that meeting. The Chief Clerk shall send notice of legislation reaching its twelfth legislative day in committee without action to the Chair of the committee and the House prime sponsor or floor manager of the legislation. Additionally, this Resolution amends the Temporary Rules of the House of Representatives of the 152nd General Assembly to require legislation reported out of committee and placed on the ready list be placed on an agenda by the Speaker unless the House prime sponsor or floor manager of the legislation requests the Speaker not place the legislation on an agenda. If the legislation is not placed on an agenda within 3 legislative days, the legislation must be placed on the agenda for the next convening of the House of Representatives under Rule 1 or a date agreed to by the Speaker and the House prime sponsor or floor manager of the bill or resolution. The legislation must then be heard and acted on by the House on that legislative day. The Chief Clerk shall send notice of legislation placed on the ready list that has reached its third legislative day without being placed on an agenda to the Speaker and House prime sponsor or floor manager of the legislation.
