What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This resolution provides that no assembly member or standing committee may
introduce proposals on any day of the biennial legislative session that occurs after
the first Tuesday of December in the odd-numbered year. The resolution provides
that the Committee on Rules may extend the deadline. Under the resolution,
however, the new introduction restrictions do not apply to proposals introduced
during and relating to a special or extraordinary session; proposals introduced by or
referred to a joint committee of the legislature; and any resolution or joint resolution.
Currently, under assembly and joint rules, proposals may generally be
introduced up until the close of the last general-business floorperiod scheduled for
the session.
