The resolution proposes amendments to the House of Representatives' rules for the years 2023 and 2024, focusing on the procedures for committee consideration of bills and resolutions. It emphasizes the importance of considering similar bills together and establishes a clear process for hearing new bills filed after similar ones have been addressed. Key provisions include the requirement that no public bill or resolution can be considered unless distributed to committee members in advance, and that committee chairs must post meeting agendas at least 48 hours prior to meetings. Additionally, the resolution sets guidelines for the number of bills that can be heard in a single meeting and outlines the process for scheduling hearings at the request of principal sponsors.

Moreover, the resolution details timelines for committee actions, mandating that committee chairs report their actions to the House within two weeks and allowing for reconsideration of votes under certain conditions. It also provides a mechanism for sponsors to report any failures of committees to consider bills in a timely manner, enabling the Speaker to discharge such bills to the House floor. The amendments aim to enhance the legislative process by ensuring timely consideration of bills, improving transparency and accountability within the committee system, and allowing members greater ability to advance their sponsored bills through specific provisions for requesting action on held bills.
