|
| 1 | | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| 2 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | 3 | | HUNDRED SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | 4 | | the Rules of the House of Representatives of the 102nd General | 5 | | Assembly are amended by changing Rule 37 and by adding Rule | 6 | | 76.5 as follows:
| 7 | | (House Rule 37)
| 8 | | 37. Bills.
| 9 | | (a) A bill may be introduced in the House by sponsorship
of | 10 | | one or more members of the House, whose names shall be on
the | 11 | | reproduced copies of the bills, in the House Journal, and in
| 12 | | the Legislative Digest. The Principal Sponsor shall be the
| 13 | | first name to appear on the bill and may be joined by no more
| 14 | | than 4 chief co-sponsors with the approval of the Principal
| 15 | | Sponsor; other co-sponsors shall be separated from the
| 16 | | Principal Sponsor and any chief co-sponsors by a comma.
The | 17 | | Principal Sponsor may change the
sponsorship of a bill to that | 18 | | of one or more other
Representatives, or
to that of the | 19 | | standing committee or special committee to which the bill was
| 20 | | referred or from which the bill was reported. Such change
may | 21 | | be made at any time the bill is pending before the House
or any | 22 | | of its committees by filing a notice with the Clerk, provided | 23 | | that the addition of any member as a Principal Sponsor, chief |
| | | HR0015 | - 2 - | LRB102 04977 JWD 14996 r |
|
| 1 | | co-sponsor, or co-sponsor must be with that member's consent. | 2 | | When the Principal Sponsor ceases to be a Representative | 3 | | during the term, the chief sponsorship of any of his or her | 4 | | pending legislative measures may be changed to another | 5 | | Representative upon approval by the Speaker or Minority | 6 | | Leader, whichever served as the Representative's caucus | 7 | | leader.
This subsection may not be suspended.
| 8 | | (b) The Principal Sponsor of a bill controls that
bill. A | 9 | | committee-sponsored bill is
controlled by the Chairperson, or | 10 | | if Co-Chairpersons have been appointed, by
the Co-Chairperson | 11 | | from the majority caucus, who for purposes of
these Rules is | 12 | | deemed the Principal Sponsor. Committee-sponsored bills may | 13 | | not
have individual co-sponsors.
| 14 | | (c) The Senate sponsor of a bill originating in the
Senate | 15 | | may request substitute House sponsorship of that bill
by | 16 | | filing a notice with the Clerk. Such notice is automatically | 17 | | referred to the Rules Committee. The notice shall include the | 18 | | bill number, signature of the Senate sponsor, signature of the | 19 | | substitute House sponsor, and a statement that the original | 20 | | House sponsor was provided with notice of intent to request a | 21 | | substitute House sponsor. A notice that satisfies the | 22 | | requirements of this subsection shall be approved by the Rules | 23 | | Committee. If the Rules Committee does not act on a notice that | 24 | | satisfies the requirements of this subsection within 3 | 25 | | legislative days after its referral, then the notice is deemed | 26 | | approved and the Clerk shall substitute sponsorship. This |
| | | HR0015 | - 3 - | LRB102 04977 JWD 14996 r |
|
| 1 | | subsection shall be in effect if, and only for so long as, the | 2 | | Rules of the Senate include a reciprocal privilege for House | 3 | | sponsors and the Senate complies with the rule. This | 4 | | subsection may not be suspended.
| 5 | | (d) All bills introduced in the House shall be read by
| 6 | | title a first time and automatically
referred to the Rules | 7 | | Committee in accordance with Rule 18. After
a Senate Bill is | 8 | | received and a House member has submitted notification to the | 9 | | Clerk of sponsorship of that bill, it shall be read by title | 10 | | and
automatically referred to the Rules Committee in
| 11 | | accordance with Rule 18.
| 12 | | (e) All bills introduced into the House shall be
| 13 | | accompanied by 1 copy. Any bill that amends a statute
shall | 14 | | indicate the particular changes in the following
manner:
| 15 | | (1) All new matter shall be underscored.
| 16 | | (2) All matter that is to be omitted or superseded
| 17 | | shall be shown crossed with a line.
| 18 | | (f) No bill shall be passed by the House except on a
record | 19 | | vote of a majority of those elected, subject to Rule 69. A bill | 20 | | that
has
lost on Third Reading and has not been reconsidered | 21 | | may not thereafter be
revived. If a motion for the adoption of | 22 | | a first conference committee report fails and the motion is | 23 | | not reconsidered, then a second conference committee may be | 24 | | appointed as provided in Rule 76(c). If a motion for the | 25 | | adoption of a second conference committee report fails and is | 26 | | not reconsidered, then the bill may not thereafter be revived.
