House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Bayham proposes the adoption of Joint Rule 23, which mandates that any notice of intent to introduce a bill for a local or special law, published by someone other than a member of the legislature, must include the name of the individual responsible for the publication. This requirement 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 provision that stipulates the necessity of publishing a notice for local or special laws on two separate days in the official journal of the relevant locality, prior to the introduction of the bill. By adding this rule, the legislature seeks to improve accountability and public awareness regarding who is initiating the legislative process for local or special laws.
