Title

SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

HR83 creates a special order calendar for the 13th legislative day and lists four bills as priorities to be considered before other business.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the House would immediately adopt this resolution, making the 13th day’s special order of business the top priority over regular or pending items. It designates HB138, HB176, HB196, and HB173 (each with amendments) as the prioritized bills to be considered in that order, effectively fast-tracking those topics for discussion and potential action. The bills cover ARPA fund allocations, aviation/advanced mobility actions, tax-delinquent land sales, and a prohibition on a specific reading approach in K-12 education.

Who It Affects

• State Department of Finance and small businesses, via a supplemental appropriation of ARPA funds to the State Small Business Credit Initiative; could affect access to state-backed credit programs.
• Department of Transportation and the aviation sector, through required actions related to advanced air mobility.
• Land Commissioner and owners or potential buyers of tax-delinquent lands, due to authorization to contract with an online auction to sell certain lands.
• Public K-12 education stakeholders (schools, teachers, districts) by prohibiting the use of the three-cueing system in instruction.

Key Provisions
