AMENDING THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 153RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY RELATING TO ACCEPTANCE OF BILLS FOR FILING.
This bill amends Delaware House Rules to require the Chief Clerk to accept all bills and resolutions for prefile, preventing the Clerk from refusing to file them. It directly affects every legislator and bill sponsor by ensuring all submitted proposals are officially recorded without administrative barriers. The key provision explicitly states: "The Chief Clerk may not refuse to accept a bill or resolution for filing under paragraph (b)(1) of this rule." This is a procedural change to streamline the legislative filing process, with no substantive policy impact.
