House Rules committee adopts HR 1,001 to align house rules with joint rules; amendment adopted
Summary
The Arkansas House Committee on Rules approved HR 1,001 with an amendment that deletes lines 17–22 on page 27, updating House Rules to match Joint Rules language affecting sections on health benefit plans and bill filing.
The Arkansas House Committee on Rules voted to adopt HR 1,001 as amended, aligning portions of the House Rules with the Joint Rules and making changes tied to health benefit plans and bill filing.
Representative Les Eves, who introduced the measure, told the committee the changes would "allow the house rules to match the joint rules" and pointed staff member Jill Thayer to explain details. An amendment to delete lines 17 through 22 on page 27 was offered and adopted before the bill was presented as amended.
The measure modifies sections identified during the hearing as Section 38(p) and Section 38(r), both described by Eves as relating to health benefit plans; Eves also said one change affects bill filing procedures. Committee members voiced approval and the bill passed the committee as amended.
The action is procedural: committee members moved and adopted an amendment and then moved the bill as amended for passage. No formal roll-call vote counts were recorded in the transcript; the committee chair announced the amendment was adopted and later declared the bill passed as amended.
