House Concurrent Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Beaullieu, seeks to enact Joint Rule No. 22, which outlines the additional information required for the consideration of appropriations bills in the Louisiana Legislature. This rule specifies that for the legislature to concur with Senate amendments or to adopt a conference committee report on appropriations bills, certain information must be provided to each member at least 48 hours prior to the consideration of these actions. This includes a summary detailing the proposed changes to the bill and any other information mandated by the joint rules of the legislature.

The resolution aligns with Article III, Section 16(F) of the Louisiana Constitution, which stipulates that no conference committee report or Senate amendment on appropriations bills can be considered for concurrence without the necessary information being distributed in advance. By establishing this rule, the resolution aims to ensure transparency and adequate preparation time for legislators when dealing with appropriations matters, thereby enhancing the legislative process.
