Resolution Concerning The Rules Of The House Of Representatives For The September Special Session, 2023.

Impact

This resolution is significant in terms of legislative efficiency, as it allows bills to be acted upon without delay following electronic notifications. By streamlining the process of how bills are moved and considered between the two chambers of the legislature, it has implications for the timeliness and effectiveness of law-making during the session. Furthermore, it sets a precedent for future sessions regarding the importance of clarity and consistency in House rules, which may influence both current and upcoming legislative procedures.

Summary

House Resolution No. 101, aimed at establishing the rules for the House of Representatives during the September Special Session of 2023, proposes to align its procedural rules with those in effect from the regular session that year. The resolution addresses specific rules regarding the handling of bills and resolutions, including how they can be transmitted between the House and the Senate. It emphasizes an efficient legislative process through the provision for immediate action on bills once members are notified electronically about their filing.

Contention

While the proposal does not seem to have generated major points of contention in its text itself, the changes to rules such as striking out existing rules and replacing them could be a source of debate among members, particularly if there are differing opinions on procedural efficiency versus thorough legislative scrutiny. The amendments and deletions signaled by the resolution suggest a broader intent to adapt legislative processes, which could invoke discussions among those favoring traditional practices versus those advocating for modernization in legislative operations.
