AR 13

This resolution makes the following changes to the assembly rules:

Determination of legislative day for purposes of referral of proposals to

calendar

Currently, the speaker may withdraw a proposal from a standing committee

and rerefer it to another standing committee or to a special committee or refer it to

the calendar for the second legislative day thereafter. To do this, the speaker must

have the approval of the committee chairperson.

The resolution amends the assembly rules to provide that for purposes of

determining “the second legislative day thereafter,” the Monday before a scheduled

floorperiod shall be counted as the first legislative day.

Reconsideration of assembly decisions on vetoes

Currently, assembly decisions on vetoes are not subject to reconsideration. The

resolution amends the assembly rules to provide that assembly decisions on vetoes

of proposals that failed to pass notwithstanding the objections of the governor are

subject to reconsideration at any time and any number of times during the legislative

biennium.

Definition of assembly chamber

The resolution amends the assembly rules to exclude the offices of the majority

leader from the definition of assembly chamber.
