The resolution introduced by Representative Brian C. Newberry seeks to amend the rules of the House of Representatives for the years 2023-2024. It specifically addresses the distribution of legislative grants contained in the budget bill. According to the proposed amendment, all appropriations of legislative grants will be divided between the Senate and the House of Representatives. Legislative grants allocated to the Senate will be distributed in accordance with Senate rules or another method adopted by the Senate. In contrast, legislative grants allocated to the House of Representatives will be equally divided among the seventy-five (75) legislative districts.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that each member of the House may direct the distribution of the legislative grant intended for their respective district through written communication to the Speaker of the House. This request must be made between July 1 and September 30 of each budget year. This amendment aims to ensure a fair and organized allocation of legislative grants within the House while allowing members to have a say in the distribution process for their districts.
