Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

The bill creates a Special Order Calendar for the 17th legislative day that places a list of bills on a fast, 10-minute-per-bill schedule ahead of the normal agenda.

What This Bill Does

It designates a special order calendar that prioritizes the listed bills over regular business. Each listed bill (and its accompanying BIR) can be considered for up to 10 minutes; if not passed within that time, it automatically reverts to its position on the regular calendar. The bills are not allowed to be moved forward by carryover motions, and the calendar applies to that day only.

• The public and observers watching the House, who will see rapid, scheduled consideration of the listed bills
