Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
