Administration and Rules

This bill establishes procedural rules for the joint operation of the state Senate and House during the Ninety-first General Assembly. It outlines how sessions are designated (Rule 2), how legislative business carries over between sessions (Rule 3), and requirements for communication between chambers (Rule 4). Key provisions include rules for handling companion bills (Rule 6), reprinting amended bills (Rule 7), and limiting floor amendments to nonsubstantive code corrections (Rule 11). As a procedural resolution, it directly affects legislators, staff, and committee processes but does not change substantive laws or impact the public.

HSB 101 is a procedural resolution establishing the permanent rules for the House of Representatives during the Ninety-first General Assembly. It sets specific operating procedures, including the House convening at 1:00 p.m. on Mondays and 8:30 a.m. on other legislative days, requiring members to maintain decorum (e.g., muting devices, no visual aids without permission), limiting debate to 10 minutes per member, and defining the Speaker's authority to maintain order. The resolution directly affects all House members, staff, and visitors by governing daily session conduct, voting procedures, and internal House operations. It does not create new policy but formalizes the House's internal governance structure for the upcoming legislative term.
