Rules Committee adopts March 12 calendar listing three House files for consideration
Summary
The Rules Committee adopted a calendar for Thursday, March 12 that lists House File 3556, House File 3425 and House Bill 3378 and set amendment filing requirements under committee rules.
The Rules Committee adopted a calendar designating Thursday, March 12 as the committee’s “calendar for the day” and listed three bills for action: House File 3556, House File 3425 and House Bill 3378.
A member moved adoption of the calendar pursuant to committee rules; the motion cited the committee’s authority to set the calendar and to establish deadline and filing requirements for amendments to the listed bills. The committee approved the calendar by voice vote after the chair called for those in favor to say “Aye.”
Representative Schumacher and Representative Howard were named in the discussion listing the bills to be placed on the calendar. The committee’s action sets the schedule and amendment filing requirements for those measures to proceed on the designated date.
Why it matters: Adopting a calendar for the day schedules bills for floor consideration and fixes administrative deadlines for amendment filing, which can affect whether and how measures reach the floor.
Next steps: The calendar is adopted and the committee set amendment filing requirements; members and staff will follow the committee’s rules and filing deadlines ahead of the March 12 session.
