The House Joint Resolution No. 101 establishes the joint rules for the November Special Session of the General Assembly in 2025, maintaining the same rules as the regular session unless amended by this resolution. Key changes include the stipulation that only bills and substantive resolutions specified in the Governor's Proclamation dated November 7, 2025, will be accepted. The Legislative Commissioners' Office (LCO) is responsible for preparing all bills and resolutions, which must be signed by the Speaker and President Pro Tempore before being submitted to the clerks of the Senate or House. Additionally, the resolution outlines the procedures for co-sponsoring bills, the transmission of bills between houses, and the requirements for fiscal notes to accompany each bill or resolution.

The resolution also modifies several existing rules regarding the introduction and handling of bills and resolutions. It specifies that only emergency certified bills and resolutions may be introduced, and it mandates that each bill or resolution must have a fiscal note attached, detailing its potential impact on state or municipal finances. Furthermore, it establishes that bills and resolutions can be acted upon immediately, provided they are accompanied by a fiscal note, and requires roll call votes for all substantive resolutions. The resolution aims to streamline the legislative process during the special session while ensuring transparency and fiscal accountability.
