A HOUSE RESOLUTION to amend the temporary rules of the House of representatives concerning certain request and filing deadlines, to increase the number of public bills a member may file, and to change the crossover deadline.
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
SECTION 1.  House Rule 31.1(d), (e), (g), and (h) as contained in House Resolution 1, 2015 Regular Session of the General Assembly, and as amended by House Resolution 17 of the 2015 Regular Session of the General Assembly, reads as rewritten:
"(d)	All public bills that would not be required to be re‑referred to the Appropriations or Finance Committees under Rule 38 and all joint resolutions and House resolutions must be submitted to the Bill Drafting Division of the Legislative Services Office by 4:00 P.M. on Thursday, April 2, 2015, and must be introduced not later than 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, April 14, 2015.
(e)	All public bills which under Rule 38 are required to be re‑referred to either or both of the Appropriations Committee or the Finance Committee must be submitted to the Bill Drafting Division of the Legislative Services Office by 4:00 P.M. on Thursday, April 2, 2015, and must be introduced not later than 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, April 16, 2015. If any bill is subject to the deadline under this subsection and the bill is amended so that all the provisions requiring referral to either or both of those committees under Rule 38 do not remain in the bill, it is not eligible for further consideration.
…
(g)	No member may introduce more than 15 public bills. For the purpose of this subsection, the introducer is the member who is listed as the first sponsor. A member may assign a portion of this limit to another member electronically using the procedures established and published by the Principal Clerk. This subsection does not apply to bills or resolutions recommended by commissions or committees authorized or directed by act or resolution of the General Assembly (i) to report to the 2015 Regular Session of the General Assembly, or to report prior to convening of that session, or (ii) that are recommended to the Regular Session of the General Assembly by a commission or committee established directly by Chapter 120 of the General Statutes. This subsection does not apply to joint resolutions or House resolutions.
(h)	In order to be eligible for consideration by the House during the first Regular Session, all Senate bills other than finance or appropriations bills that would be required to be re‑referred to the Appropriations or Finance Committee under Rule 38 or adjournment resolutions must be received and read on the floor of the House as a message from the Senate no later than Thursday, April 30, 2015; provided that a message from the Senate received by the next legislative day stating that a bill has passed its third reading and is being engrossed shall comply with the requirements of this subsection and provided that the Senate has a similar rule."
SECTION 2.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
