Joint rule 3, bill hearings
JOINT RULES – Proposes an amendment to Joint Rule 3 to guarantee that any bill or joint resolution passed by one chamber of the Legislature shall be guaranteed a hearing in the applicable germane committee in the other chamber within seven legislative days.

RS31229 / HCR021

This legislation modifies Joint Rule Three to include a provision requiring a bill or joint resolution that has passed in one house with a two thirds majority or greater will be given a full hearing in the other chamber. This would honor the work of the legislators by ensuring that it is given a hearing.

This legislation will not impact the general fund because it only relates to the proceedings with which legislation is considered.
