The bill amends House Rule 5.1 to change the process for introducing and referring bills and resolutions. Specifically, it mandates that any bill or resolution sponsored by a majority of the House must be placed on the House calendar for consideration, bypassing the initial referral to a committee. The Speaker retains the authority to delay referral for one statewide legislative day to review the legislation's subject matter content. The bill also outlines procedures for prefiling and the handling of bills appropriating revenue or creating study committees.
