Adopting permanent rules of the House of Representatives for the 2021-2022 biennium.
HR 6004 adopts the permanent operating rules for the Kansas House of Representatives during the 2021-2022 legislative biennium. The rules set specific meeting times (e.g., 2:00 p.m. start for regular sessions, no meetings before 8:00 a.m. or after midnight), establish the daily order of business (including roll call, prayer, and pledge), and create a special "Session Proforma" for limited routine business without requiring a quorum. These rules directly govern how House members conduct daily operations, including scheduling, debate procedures, and attendance requirements. The bill does not create new policy but defines the procedural framework for legislative sessions.
