Summary

HR132 is a House rules resolution that sets a special order calendar, putting a list of specific bills on the agenda for the 13th legislative day ahead of all other business.

What This Bill Does

It immediately designates the listed bills as the special and paramount order of business for the 13th legislative day, giving them priority over regular or unfinished business. The listed bills cover topics like election administration, vehicle weight rules, community development districts, education administration, health care Do Not Resuscitate orders, domestic violence funding, constitutional budgeting, alcohol tastings, parks funding, condo law, police jurisdictions, tax exemptions, and more. The resolution itself does not change any policy; it only changes the order in which these bills are considered.
