Committee introduces RS 32,008 after rules review; Vice Chairman Weber to be floor sponsor

Vice Chairman John Weber presented RS 32,008 to the House Revenue and Taxation Committee on Jan. 23, 2025, reporting that the committee’s rules had been reviewed and "found them in order." Weber told the committee he recommended sending the resolution to the second reading calendar on the floor.

Weber identified himself as John Weber, District 34, and explained RS 32,008 simply documents the committee’s rules review. "This resolution is just stating that, we reviewed and found them in order," Weber said.

The committee proceeded through a brief procedural exchange. Representative Raybould initially moved to send RS 32,008 to the second reading calendar with a due‑pass recommendation but withdrew that motion by unanimous consent to correct procedure. Representative Rebold later moved to introduce RS 32,008 and recommend it be sent to the second reading calendar with a due‑pass recommendation; the motion carried. The chair announced that "RS 32,008 stands introduced" and that Vice Chairman Weber will be the floor sponsor.

Why it matters: RS 32,008 is a routine rules‑review resolution documenting the committee’s review of its rules and, per the committee recommendation, will go to the second reading calendar under a due‑pass recommendation.

Next steps: With the committee recommendation recorded, Vice Chairman Weber will serve as floor sponsor when the resolution reaches floor consideration. The committee adjourned and scheduled its next meeting for 9:00 a.m. the following day.
