House Resolution No. 101, introduced by Representative Rojas of the 9th District, pertains to the rules governing the House of Representatives during the June Special Session of 2024. The resolution stipulates that the rules from the regular session of 2024 will remain in effect for the special session, with specific amendments, alterations, or repeals as outlined in the resolution. Notably, several rules are to be stricken, including Rules 9, 11, 15, 19, 20, 32, 33, 50, and certain provisions are to be replaced with new language, particularly concerning the immediate action on bills and resolutions after electronic notice, the order of business, and the limitations on what bills and resolutions may be received during the special session.
The resolution modifies Rule 11 to allow for immediate action on bills or substantive resolutions following electronic notification to House members and permits immediate transmission to the Senate after final action. It also allows for expedited action if either chamber rejects amendments made by the other. Additionally, the resolution changes the order of business as outlined in Rule 21 and specifies in Rule 51 the types of bills and resolutions that will be entertained during the special session, which includes those specified in Rule 7 of the Joint Rules, those certified as per Rule 9 of the Joint Rules, and resolutions related to the special session's rules, printing of journals, and expenses.
