Summary

This House resolution sets a Special Order Calendar to fast-track a list of bills on the 18th legislative day with a 10-minute limit per bill and automatic reversion to regular order if not disposed.

What This Bill Does

It designates a specific list of bills (including HB15, HB47, HB52, HB53, HB55, HB62, HB66, HB87, HB89, HB94, HB95, HB98, HB126, HB139, HB151, HB167, HB170, HB177, HB201, HB215, HB228, HB230, HB235, HB238, HB246, HB255, HB270, HB285, HB293, HB294, HB312, HB315, HB319, HB325, HB327, HB367, HB379 and SB128) to be the special and paramount order of business on the 18th day.
