AMENDING THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Introduced By: Representatives Fox, and Watson

Date Introduced: April 08, 2008

     RESOLVED, That Rule 13(i) of the Rules of the House of Representatives for the years

2007 and 2008 are hereby amended to read as follows:

     (13)(i) No public bill or resolution which originated in the House shall be considered by a

House committee unless the committee has held a hearing on that bill or resolution by April 12,

2007 (or April 10 24, 2008, in the case of 2008), and thereafter the committees of the House shall

not consider public bills or resolutions except those which have been acted upon by the Senate

and transmitted by the Senate to the House of Representatives, provided however, that the

committee on finance may hear and consider such House bills, acts or resolutions as it deems to

have a fiscal impact after April 12, 2007 (or April 10 24, 2008, in the case of 2008), except as

provided in section (j) hereof, and provided further, that each other House committee may

complete consideration of not more than three (3) House bills or resolutions after said date, on

which such committee had not been able to complete action, upon approval by the Speaker of a

written request from the Chair. All such requests must be filed with the Clerk of the House no

later than April 12, 2007 (or April 10 24, 2008, in the case of 2008). The provisions of this

paragraph shall not apply to House bills of which Senate duplicates have passed the House.
