Impact

The resolution specifically alters certain procedural rules of the House, including the manner in which bills and substantive resolutions are introduced and debated. Notable changes include adjustments to the electronic notice requirements for bill filings and how amendments are handled if the House or Senate rejects them. These changes aim to streamline the legislative process and minimize delays, which is especially important in special sessions when time is of the essence.

Summary

House Resolution No. 201, introduced during the June Special Session in 2017 by Representative Ritter, outlines the rules governing the legislative procedures of the House of Representatives for that particular session. The resolution aims to maintain continuity by ensuring that the rules from the 2017 regular session remain in effect for the special session, with specified amendments. This approach is aimed at facilitating legislative efficiency and clarity in governance during a time when quick decisions may be necessary.

Contention

Although the resolution itself may not have sparked significant public controversy, the changes to procedural rules can provoke differing opinions among legislators. Supporters of the resolution may argue that the expedited processes are essential for effective governance, particularly during special sessions where rapid responses to pressing issues are critical. Conversely, opponents may raise concerns about the potential for hasty legislation and the implications for thorough debate, fearing that critical scrutiny might be circumvented due to the amended procedures.
