HR0106 101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY |
| | HR0106 | | LRB101 08856 JWD 53945 r |
|
| 1 | | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| 2 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | 3 | | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | 4 | | the Rules of the House of Representatives of the 101st General | 5 | | Assembly are amended by changing Rule 37 as follows:
| 6 | | (House Rule 37)
| 7 | | 37. Bills.
| 8 | | (a) A bill may be introduced in the House by sponsorship
of | 9 | | one or more members of the House, whose names shall be on
the | 10 | | reproduced copies of the bills, in the House Journal, and in
| 11 | | the Legislative Digest. The Principal Sponsor shall be the
| 12 | | first name to appear on the bill and may be joined by no more
| 13 | | 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, or
to that of the | 18 | | standing committee or special committee to which the bill was
| 19 | | referred or from which the bill was reported. Such change
may | 20 | | be made at any time the bill is pending before the House
or any | 21 | | of its committees by filing a notice with the Clerk, provided | 22 | | that the addition of any member as a Principal Sponsor, chief | 23 | | co-sponsor, or co-sponsor must be with that member's consent. | 24 | | When the Principal Sponsor ceases to be a Representative during |
| | | HR0106 | - 2 - | LRB101 08856 JWD 53945 r |
|
| 1 | | the term, the chief sponsorship of any of his or her pending | 2 | | legislative measures may be changed to another Representative | 3 | | upon approval by the Speaker or Minority Leader, whichever | 4 | | served as the Representative's caucus leader.
If a bill is | 5 | | amended to replace everything after the enacting clause with | 6 | | language differing in substance or subject matter from the bill | 7 | | as introduced, upon adoption of such an amendment, the Clerk | 8 | | shall remove the Principal Sponsor, chief co-sponsors, and | 9 | | co-sponsors from the bill and the Principal Sponsor of that | 10 | | amendment shall become the Principal Sponsor of the bill. This | 11 | | subsection may not be suspended.
| 12 | | (b) The Principal Sponsor of a bill controls that
bill. A | 13 | | committee-sponsored bill is
controlled by the Chairperson, or | 14 | | if Co-Chairpersons have been appointed, by
the Co-Chairperson | 15 | | from the majority caucus, who for purposes of
these Rules is | 16 | | deemed the Principal Sponsor. Committee-sponsored bills may | 17 | | not
have individual co-sponsors.
| 18 | | (c) The Senate sponsor of a bill originating in the
Senate | 19 | | may request substitute House sponsorship of that bill
by filing | 20 | | a notice with the Clerk. Such notice is automatically referred | 21 | | to the Rules Committee. The notice shall include the bill | 22 | | number, signature of the Senate sponsor, signature of the | 23 | | substitute House sponsor, and a statement that the original | 24 | | House sponsor was provided with notice of intent to request a | 25 | | substitute House sponsor. A notice that satisfies the | 26 | | requirements of this subsection shall be approved by the Rules |
| | | HR0106 | - 3 - | LRB101 08856 JWD 53945 r |
|
| 1 | | Committee. If the Rules Committee does not act on a notice that | 2 | | satisfies the requirements of this subsection within 3 | 3 | | legislative days after its referral, then the notice is deemed | 4 | | approved and the Clerk shall substitute sponsorship. This | 5 | | subsection shall be in effect if, and only for so long as, the | 6 | | Rules of the Senate include a reciprocal privilege for House | 7 | | sponsors and the Senate complies with the rule. This subsection | 8 | | may not be suspended.
| 9 | | (d) All bills introduced in the House shall be read by
| 10 | | title a first time and automatically
referred to the Rules | 11 | | Committee in accordance with Rule 18. After
a Senate Bill is | 12 | | received and a House member has submitted notification to the | 13 | | Clerk of sponsorship of that bill, it shall be read by title | 14 | | and
automatically referred to the Rules Committee in
accordance | 15 | | with Rule 18.
| 16 | | (e) All bills introduced into the House shall be
| 17 | | accompanied by 1 copy. Any bill that amends a statute
shall | 18 | | indicate the particular changes in the following
manner:
| 19 | | (1) All new matter shall be underscored.
| 20 | | (2) All matter that is to be omitted or superseded
| 21 | | shall be shown crossed with a line.
| 22 | | (f) No bill shall be passed by the House except on a
record | 23 | | vote of a majority of those elected, subject to Rule 69. A bill | 24 | | that
has
lost on Third Reading and has not been reconsidered | 25 | | may not thereafter be
revived. If a motion for the adoption of | 26 | | a first conference committee report fails and the motion is not |
| | | HR0106 | - 4 - | LRB101 08856 JWD 53945 r |
|
| 1 | | reconsidered, then a second conference committee may be | 2 | | appointed as provided in Rule 76(c). If a motion for the | 3 | | adoption of a second conference committee report fails and is | 4 | | not reconsidered, then the bill may not thereafter be revived.
