Suspending the constitutional order of business.
This resolution (HR 12) is a procedural motion by the Texas House of Representatives to override the standard constitutional schedule for its legislative session. It uses the constitutional provision allowing either house to change its order of business with a 4/5 vote, declaring that the House will follow its permanent rules instead of the Texas Constitution's requirement that the first 30 days focus on bill introductions and emergencies. The resolution does not create new policy but changes how the House organizes its workflow during the 89th Legislature's regular session. It directly affects the Texas House of Representatives' internal procedures.
