Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 3642.
This resolution (HR 1496) suspends a House rule to allow a conference committee to remove duplicate language from House Bill 3642. The omitted text would have designated a section of U.S. Highway 67 in Dallas and Ellis Counties as the "Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway" with markers, but this is no longer needed because Senate Bill 2790 already covers the same highway designation. The bill itself does not create new policy - it streamlines the legislative process by eliminating redundant text.
