House Calendars
The house rules provide for four types of calendars:
-
the Daily House Calendar, which contains a list of new bills and resolutions
scheduled by the Committee on Calendars for consideration by the house;
-
the Supplemental House Calendar (prepared by the Committee on Calendars), which
may contain: (a) measures passed to third reading on the previous day; (b)
measures on the Daily House Calendar for a previous day that were not reached
for consideration; (c) measures on the Daily House Calendar for the current
day; (d) postponed business from a previous day; and (e) notice to call from
the table a measure laid on the table subject to call on a previous day;
-
the Local, Consent, and Resolutions Calendar, which contains a list of local or
noncontroversial bills scheduled by the Committee on Local and Consent
Calendars for consideration by the house; and
-
the Congratulatory and Memorial Calendar, which contains a list of
congratulatory and memorial resolutions and motions scheduled by the Committee
on Rules and Resolutions for consideration by the house.
List of Items Eligible for Consideration
This list is prepared by the chief clerk of the house, upon request of the
speaker, when the volume of legislation warrants (normally during the last few
weeks of a regular session). The list, which must be distributed six hours
before it may be considered, contains: (1) house bills with senate amendments
eligible to be considered; (2) senate bills for which the senate has requested
the appointment of a conference committee; and (3) conference committee reports
eligible to be considered.
