The resolution proposes to suspend part of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address differences in House Bill 3642, which pertains to the designation of memorial highways and the installation of related signage. Specifically, the resolution seeks to omit certain text from proposed SECTION 4 of the bill, which includes the designation of a portion of U.S. Highway 67 as the Eddie Bernice Johnson Memorial Highway. This omission is justified as the content is deemed unnecessary due to the passage of another bill, Senate Bill 2790, which covers the same subject matter.
By suspending House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(2), the committee is empowered to streamline the legislative process by removing redundant provisions. The resolution highlights the importance of efficient legislative action while ensuring that the memorial designation is still recognized through the appropriate channels, as the necessary provisions are already addressed in the recently passed Senate Bill 2790.
