House Rules Committee adopts May 4 calendar and advances House File 18-49 to the General Register

The Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration convened, approved the minutes from April 28, 2026, adopted a calendar of 18 bills for Monday, May 4, and placed House File 18-49 on the General Register.

The committee chair called the meeting to order and confirmed a quorum. Representative Purcell moved to approve the minutes; the committee approved the motion by voice vote.

The chair proposed the order of business and said the committee was moving 18 bills to the May 4 calendar but removed one House file filed by Representative Scott because “there’s an outstanding comparison report from a Senate file,” making that item ineligible for the calendar until the report is received. Members then voted to adopt the calendar and the committee established a prefiling deadline for amendments under committee rules.

During consideration of agenda items, members discussed House File 3900 (previously heard) and a correction was offered to substitute House File 18-49 in its place before the committee. Representative Garden moved that House File 18-49 be placed in the General Register and described the measure as having cross‑party support, saying, “It’s a win for both Republicans and Democrats.” The committee approved that motion by voice vote and House File 18-49 was placed on the General Register.

No roll-call votes or vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; all actions were approved by voice vote. The chair adjourned the meeting.

What happens next: House File 18-49 is on the General Register and may be considered in the House according to chamber procedures. The calendar adopted designates Monday, May 4 for the listed items, and the committee’s prefiling requirement governs submission of amendments for those bills.
