What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Senate rules provide that assembly proposals received by the senate for

concurrence are adversely and finally disposed of upon failure of concurrence by the

senate. Joint rules provide that any proposal passed by one house, but not concurred

in by the other house by the close of the last general-business floorperiod, is

adversely disposed of for the biennial session and is recorded in the senate journal

as “failed to concur.”

This resolution revives five assembly bills that passed the assembly, but were

not concurred in by the senate before the close of the last general-business

floorperiod. The resolution requires further that the bills be taken up immediately

by the senate for second reading and amendment upon adoption of this resolution.
