The resolution proposes a partial suspension of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address specific matters related to House Bill 40, which pertains to the establishment of a business court. The committee seeks to add provisions that would enable civil actions initiated before September 1, 2024, to be transferred to the business court, provided there is mutual agreement from the involved parties and permission from the business court itself. This transfer process would be governed by rules established by the Texas Supreme Court, which would prioritize complex civil cases that have been challenging for district courts to resolve due to their caseloads.

Additionally, the resolution includes nonamendatory transition language to clarify that the changes enacted by the bill will only apply to civil actions commenced on or after September 1, 2024, except for those actions that are transferred to the business court under the newly proposed Section 25A.021. This adjustment is deemed necessary to ensure that the business court can effectively manage cases that began prior to the specified date, thereby facilitating a more efficient judicial process. The proposed changes are set to expire on September 1, 2035.
