House of Representatives, Special Order Calendar

Summary

A House resolution that sets a Special Order Calendar for the 21st legislative day, placing a list of Senate and House bills at the top of the agenda.

Who It Affects

• Legislators and legislative staff, who will implement and vote on the listed bills as part of the special order calendar.
