Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

This resolution sets a special order calendar that makes five specific House bills the top priority on the 13th legislative day, ahead of all other business.

What This Bill Does

If adopted, it immediately designates HB329, HB281, HB295, HB306, and HB187 as the special and paramount order of business for the 13th day, giving them precedence over regular or unfinished business. This effectively speeds up consideration of these bills for that day and limits other business from interfering with their passage or discussion.

Who It Affects
