76th LEGISLATURE- REGULAR SESSION
memorial or congratulatory resolution from committee in order to place the
resolution on a congratulatory and memorial calendar. If the Committee on
Rules and Resolutions determines that a resolution is not eligible for
placement on the congratulatory and memorial calendar the measure shall be
sent to the Committee on Calendars for further action. A congratulatory and
memorial calendar will contain the resolution number, the author's name, and
a brief description of the intent of the resolution. On the congratulatory and
memorial calendar, congratulatory resolutions may be listed separately from
memorial resolutions. Once a printed calendar is distributed, no additional
resolutions will be added to it, and the requirements of this section shall not
be subject to suspension.
Sec. 12. PROCEDURE FOR CONSIDERATION OF CONGRATULATORY
AND MEMORIAL CALENDARS. During the consideration of a
congratulatory and memorial calendar, resolutions shall not be read in full
unless they pertain to members or former members of the legislature, or unless
the intended recipient of the resolution is present on the house floor or in
the gallery. All other such resolutions shall be read only by number, type
of resolution, and name of the person or persons designated in the resolutions.
Members shall notify the chair, in advance of consideration of the calendar,
of any resolutions that will be required to be read in full. In addition, the
following procedures shall be observed:
(1) The chair shall recognize the reading clerk to read the resolutions
within each category on the calendar only by number, type of resolution,
author or sponsor, and name of the person or persons designated in the
resolutions, except for those resolutions that have been withdrawn or that are
required to be read in full. The resolutions read by the clerk shall then be
adopted in one motion for each category.
(2) Subsequent to the adoption of the resolutions read by the clerk,
the chair shall proceed to lay before the house the resolutions on the calendar
that are required to be read in full. Each such resolution shall be read and
adopted individually.
(3) If it develops that any resolution on the congratulatory and
memorial calendar does not belong on that calendar, the chair shall withdraw
the resolution from further consideration, remove it from the calendar, and
refer it to the appropriate calendars committee for placement on the proper
calendar.
Sec. 13. PERIODS FOR CONSIDERATION OF LOCAL, CONSENT, AND
RESOLUTIONS CALENDARS. As the volume of legislation shall warrant, the
chair of the Committee on Local and Consent Calendars shall move to
designate periods for the consideration of local, consent, and resolutions
calendars. Each such motion shall require a two-thirds vote for its adoption.
In each instance, the Committee on Local and Consent Calendars shall
prepare and distribute to each member a printed calendar at least 48 hours
in advance of the hour set for consideration. Once a printed calendar is
distributed, no additional bills or resolutions will be added to it. This
requirement can be suspended only by unanimous consent. No local,
consent, and resolutions calendar may be considered by the house if it is
determined that the rules of the house were not complied with by the
Committee on Local and Consent Calendars in preparing that calendar.88
