Resolution Concerning The Rules Of The House For The Reconvened Session Of The 2018 General Assembly.

Impact

The modifications to the existing rules aim to streamline the legislative process, ensuring that the daily proceedings are accurately recorded and that the business conducted, including matters received from the Senate, is efficiently managed. By clearly outlining the order of business and the duties of the clerk, this resolution seeks to avoid any procedural ambiguities that may arise during the reconvened session.

Summary

House Resolution No. 101 pertains to the rules governing the House for the reconvened session of the 2018 General Assembly. The resolution maintains that the existing rules from the regular session will continue to be in effect, with specific amendments and alterations included within the text. This aims to provide continuity in legislative proceedings while addressing any necessary updates in operational protocols for the session.

Contention

Some notable changes included in the resolution involve the striking out of specific rules related to the handling of resolutions and the responsibilities of the clerk. There is a focus on limiting the types of resolutions that can be accepted, narrowing them down to those relating to sympathy or the rules of the reconvened session only. This could potentially limit the scope of discussion and legislation that can be introduced during this period, which may lead to contention among legislators who might have preferred a broader ability to bring forward resolutions.
