Summary

Session

Regular Session 2014

Title

House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

A House resolution sets the special order calendar for the 12th legislative day, giving priority to a list of bills for consideration.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 12th day, ahead of regular business. The resolution is a procedural rule from the House Rules Committee and does not by itself enact policy; it simply controls the order in which these bills will be considered on that day. If adopted, these bills would be debated and acted upon before other pending or unfinished business.

Who It Affects

• House members and legislative staff, who must follow the special order and consider the listed bills on the designated day
• Public and regulated groups affected by the listed bills (e.g., construction contractors, tanning facility operators and users, voters and election officials, rental property owners, Faulkner University police, telecommunications customers and providers, funeral service professionals, engineers and land surveyors, and transportation and regulatory agencies)
