The resolution amends several rules of the House of Representatives for the 136th General Assembly, specifically Rules 13, 22, 24, 25, 96, and 115. Key changes include the Speaker's authority in appointing committee members and ensuring their composition reflects the partisan makeup of the House, while also allowing the Minority Leader to recommend minority party members for committees. Additionally, the resolution clarifies the responsibilities of the Chief Administrative Officer regarding employee supervision and parking facilities, and it establishes protocols for the Clerk's management of legislative documents, including their custody, public inspection, and record-keeping.
Further amendments address procedural aspects such as the ability of the Clerk to call the House to order in the absence of key leadership, the process for amending bill titles, and the removal of a Representative's name from a bill or resolution title. The resolution also stipulates that Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure will serve as a parliamentary guide in cases not covered by the House rules or joint rules with the Senate. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the operational efficiency and procedural clarity of the House of Representatives.
