A Resolution amending House Rule 24, further providing for third consideration and final passage bills.
This Pennsylvania House resolution (HR 73) amends House Rule 24 to change procedures for the final vote stage of bills. It requires a minimum three-hour wait before final passage votes unless two-thirds of House members approve skipping the wait, and limits amendments during final consideration to only technical fixes (like grammar errors). The resolution also mandates that titles and brief descriptions of bills be read aloud before voting, and specifies how multiple bills on final passage must be handled. This procedural change affects all bills moving through the House's final approval process, without altering policy content.
