Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

This House resolution creates a Special Order Calendar for the 11th legislative day to move a specific list of bills ahead of regular business with a strict 10-minute total debate limit.

What This Bill Does

It designates certain bills and their budget impact reports as the special and paramount business for the 11th day. It limits the consideration of those bills to a total of 10 minutes. If a bill does not pass within that 10-minute window, it automatically reverts to its position on the regular order calendar and is not subject to carryover. The order takes precedence over the regular business schedule.
