The Select Committee on Rules considered multiple rule submissions in an expedited special session on redistricting procedures.
- Representative Camper's transparency‑focused package (public‑notice windows, block‑level map data, statewide hearings, legal findings and fiscal notes) was presented and failed in a voice vote.
- Representative Shaw's proposal to accept written public statements, expand witness counts and require a three‑day review of redistricting files was presented and failed in a voice vote.
- Representative Jones's nine‑item package (including a 0.75 threshold to call the question and a requirement that votes be taken on the board or by roll call) was taken by roll‑call and failed 3–8. The clerk recorded the following roll‑call: Boyd (No), Camper (Aye), Crawford (No), Farmer (No), Hakeem (Aye), Hicks of Washington (No), Littleton (No), Shaw (Yes), Williams (No), Zachary (No), Chairman Lambert (No).
- Representative Boyd's administrative package (gallery removal for duration of special session, application to committee rooms, flow motion and 24‑hour amendment filing deadline) passed by voice vote. Representative Farmer moved that the changes be made part of the permanent rules of order for the 114th General Assembly's 2nd extraordinary session and the committee recorded 'ayes have it.'
The meeting adjourned after the committee adopted Boyd's package and the motion to transmit the changes to the house.
