Committee adopts technical updates to joint rules in short resolution
Summary
Representative Carlton Wing told the committee SCR 1 makes a handful of clerical and timing updates to the joint rules for the General Assembly; the committee moved the resolution forward on a motion to pass.
Representative Carlton Wing (District 70) presented SCR 1, a 21‑page package of joint rules for the General Assembly with five limited changes. Wing said the updates are largely clerical or procedural: clarifying how non‑procedural resolutions are handled in a special session, refining the filing deadline for certain bills, updating interim committee authority when recess exceeds 30 days, making minor drafting/strikethrough clarifications and aligning fiscal impact statement language for state and public school life and health insurance programs with existing code.
Wing told the committee the rest of the joint rules remain unchanged from the prior cycle and that the five changes are intended to improve administrative clarity. "Those are the five differences. The rest of the 21 pages are exactly as before," Wing said.
Hearing no questions, the committee moved the resolution on a motion to pass and adopted the motion by voice vote.
