House Rules Committee advances SCR 209 setting 2027 pre-session filing deadline

The House Committee on Rules voted to advance Senate Concurrent Resolution 209, a measure that would set the deadline for filing legislative measures for the 2027 session, to the full House.

Melissa, a committee staff member, read the resolution summary to the panel and said "no fiscal, no revenue impact, and Senate vote was 29 ayes." Chair Bowman opened the work session and Vice Chair Pham moved to send SCR 209 to the floor "with the B adopted recommendation." Chair Bowman repeated the motion for the record and called for a roll call.

During roll call, Representatives Skorlock and Wallen and Vice Chairs Omer and Gann each recorded an "aye," and Chair Bowman registered an "aye" as well. The transcript records an inconsistent entry for Representative Graeber: an early exchange notes Graeber as "excused," and a later exchange records a response of "yes." Chair Bowman announced that the motion passed and that the committee assigned Representative Graeber to carry the House version in her absence.

The staff summary noted there is no fiscal or revenue impact from the resolution and cited the Senate’s recorded vote on the companion measure. No amendments, additional debate, or public testimony were recorded during the work session. The committee adjourned following the vote.

What happens next: SCR 209 will move to the House floor for consideration under the committee’s recommendation. The committee record does not specify a House floor calendar date; fiscal impact was stated as none.
