The resolution, H.R. No. 320, addresses the order of business for the Texas House of Representatives during the 89th Legislature's regular session. It references Section 5(b) of Article III of the Texas Constitution, which outlines the standard procedures for the first sixty days of the session, including the introduction of bills, emergency appropriations, and committee hearings. Additionally, it notes that Section 5(c) allows either house to alter its order of business with a four-fifths majority vote.
By achieving this affirmative vote, the House of Representatives has decided to establish a different order of business than what is typically prescribed by the Texas Constitution. The resolution formally declares that the House will follow the procedures outlined in its permanent rules for the 89th Legislature, thereby allowing for a more tailored approach to managing legislative activities during the session.
