House Resolution No. by Representative Bayham proposes the adoption of House Rule 7.20, which mandates that any notice of intent to introduce a bill for a local or special law, published by someone other than a legislator, must disclose the name of the individual responsible for the publication. This rule aims to enhance transparency in the legislative process by ensuring that the source of such notices is clearly identified.

The resolution aligns with the existing constitutional requirement that local or special laws cannot be enacted without prior notice published in the official journal of the locality, ensuring that the notice is published on two separate days at least thirty days before the bill's introduction. By adding this disclosure requirement, the resolution seeks to provide clarity and accountability regarding who initiates the publication of these notices, thereby fostering greater public awareness and trust in the legislative process.
