Summary
This resolution amends a number of rules of the House of Representatives. Many of the changes are clean-up in nature, others more substantive. The latter include changes to:
- provide that officers of the House and committee members may be removed by a two-thirds’ vote of the members present (instead of two-thirds of the House);
- remove the requirement that the Sergeant -at-Arms receive any message from the governor and announce its arrival to the speaker;
- provide that in addition to committee chairs, the speaker will designate the vice chair and other officers of a committee; and
- provide that, if a committee report is unfavorable and the house does not adopt the committee report, the bill, resolution or memorial shall be placed on the calendar, or if the bill, resolution or memorial has received another committee referral, it shall be referred to such other committee.
Potential benefits and concerns regarding this House Resolution depend very much on how the changes are implemented.
