| reproduced copies of the bills, in the House Journal, and in
| 11 |
| the Legislative Digest. The Principal Sponsor shall be the

| than 4 chief co-sponsors with the approval of the Principal
| 14 |
| Sponsor; other co-sponsors shall be separated from the
| 15 |
| Principal Sponsor and any chief co-sponsors by a comma.
The | 16 |
| Principal Sponsor may change the
sponsorship of a bill to that | 17 |
| of one or more other
Representatives, with his, her, or their | 18 |
| consent, or
to that of the standing committee or special | 19 |
| committee to which the bill was
referred or from which the bill | 20 |
| was reported. Such change
may be made at any time the bill is | 21 |
| pending before the House
or any of its committees by filing a | 22 |
| notice with the Clerk, provided that the addition of any member | 23 |
| as a Principal Sponsor, chief co-sponsor, or co-sponsor must be | 24 |

bill. A | 28 |
| standing committee-sponsored bill is controlled by the
| 29 |
| Chairperson of the committee, who for purposes of these
Rules | 30 |
| is deemed the Principal Sponsor. A special committee-sponsored | 31 |
| bill is
controlled by the Chairperson, or if Co-Chairpersons | 32 |
| have been appointed, by
the Co-Chairperson from the majority | 33 |
| caucus, who for purposes of
these Rules is deemed the Principal | 34 |
| Sponsor. Committee-sponsored bills may not

| 56. Verification.
| 3 |
| (a) After any record vote, except for a vote that
requires | 4 |
| a specific number of affirmative votes and that has
not | 5 |
| received the required votes, and before intervening
business, | 6 |
| it is in order for any member to
request verification of the | 7 |
| results of the record vote, except that (i) a member voting in | 8 |
| the affirmative may not request verification of the affirmative | 9 |
| votes and (ii) a member voting in the negative may not request | 10 |
| a verification of the negative votes. If a member is | 11 |
| disqualified from requesting a verification because of his or | 12 |
| her vote, a qualifying member who makes a subsequent request | 13 |
| for a verification shall be allowed to proceed with the | 14 |
| verification.
| 15 |
| (b) In verifying a record vote, the Presiding Officer
shall | 16 |
| instruct the Clerk to call the names of those
members whose | 17 |
| votes are to be verified. The
member requesting the | 18 |
| verification may thereafter
identify those members he or she | 19 |
| wishes to verify. If a
member does not answer, his or her vote | 20 |
| shall be stricken;
the member's vote shall be restored to the | 21 |
| roll, however, if
his or her presence is recognized before the | 22 |
| Presiding Officer announces the
final result of the | 23 |
| verification. The Presiding Officer shall determine the
| 24 |
| presence or absence of each member whose name is called, and
| 25 |
| shall then announce the results of the verification.
| 26 |
| (c) While the results of any record vote are being
| 27 |
| verified, it is in order for any member to
announce his or her | 28 |
| presence on the floor and thereby have
his or her vote | 29 |
| verified.
| 30 |
| (d) A request for a verification of the affirmative and
| 31 |
| negative results of a record vote may be made only once on
each | 32 |
| record vote.
