Executive Committee approves letter setting interim committee deadlines and procedures

Apr 21, 2025

The committee approved an updated letter to interim committee chairs that clarifies deadlines, how withdrawn drafts are handled, 24‑hour rules for multi‑page amendments, and sponsor replacement procedures; the motion passed unanimously.

The full story

Michael Doerr of the Office of Legislative Legal Services summarized the letter to interim committee chairs, highlighting changes from last year: updated deadlines (including an illustrative Nov. 14 approval date), a memorialized process for how withdrawn bill drafts are communicated to committee chairs and posted on the website, procedures for the 24‑hour distribution rule for large or multi‑page amendments, and a process for replacing prime sponsors who move chambers or do not return to the legislature.
