SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Concurrent
Resolution 4 amends Joint Rule 10-1 to provide that if an interim committee has
endorsed a bill, resolution or memorial, the legislative council service is
required to draft and prepare the bill, resolution or memorial for introduction
in only one house, and shall print on the face of the bill, resolution or
memorial the names of the members who were members of the interim committee and
who have given their permission to the legislative council service to have
their names printed on the legislation as if they had signed the
legislation. House Concurrent Resolution
4 does not prohibit any member from affixing his signature to any bill,
resolution, or memorial endorsed by an interim committee.
In addition, during
any regular, special or extraordinary session of the forty-sixth legislature,
any bill, resolution or memorial introduced in the house may be co-sponsored by
senate members by endorsing the bill, resolution, or memorial, or by filing a
written notice in open session with the clerk of the house within five calendar
days of the introduction of the legislation, or prior to third reading or final
unfavorable action in the house, whichever occurs earlier. The above process of co-sponsorship also
applies to any bill, resolution, or memorial introduced in the senate.
The names of the
sponsor and co-sponsors of all bills, resolutions and memorials shall be shown
on the face of the enrolled and engrossed legislation.
