| 1 | | HOUSE RESOLUTION | 2 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | 3 | | HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | 4 | | the Rules of the House of Representatives of the 103rd 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. |

|
| 1 | | When the Principal Sponsor ceases to be a Representative | 2 | | during the term, the chief sponsorship of any of his or her | 3 | | pending legislative measures may be changed to another | 4 | | Representative upon approval by the Speaker or Minority | 5 | | Leader, whichever served as the Representative's caucus | 6 | | leader. This subsection may not be suspended. | 7 | | (b) The Principal Sponsor of a bill controls that bill. A | 8 | | committee-sponsored bill is controlled by the Chairperson, or | 9 | | if Co-Chairpersons have been appointed, by the Co-Chairperson | 10 | | from the majority caucus, who for purposes of these Rules is | 11 | | deemed the Principal Sponsor. Committee-sponsored bills may | 12 | | not have individual co-sponsors. | 13 | | (c) The Senate sponsor of a bill originating in the Senate | 14 | | may request substitute House sponsorship of that bill by | 15 | | filing a notice with the Clerk. Such notice is automatically | 16 | | referred to the Rules Committee. The notice shall include the | 17 | | bill number, signature of the Senate sponsor, signature of the | 18 | | substitute House sponsor, and a statement that the original | 19 | | House sponsor was provided with notice of intent to request a | 20 | | substitute House sponsor. A notice that satisfies the | 21 | | requirements of this subsection shall be approved by the Rules | 22 | | Committee. If the Rules Committee does not act on a notice that | 23 | | satisfies the requirements of this subsection within 3 | 24 | | legislative days after its referral, then the notice is deemed | 25 | | approved and the Clerk shall substitute sponsorship. This | 26 | | subsection shall be in effect if, and only for so long as, the |

|
| 1 | | Rules of the Senate include a reciprocal privilege for House | 2 | | sponsors and the Senate complies with the rule. This | 3 | | subsection may not be suspended. | 4 | | (d) All bills introduced in the House shall be read by | 5 | | title a first time and automatically referred to the Rules | 6 | | Committee in accordance with Rule 18. After a Senate Bill is | 7 | | received and a House member has submitted notification to the | 8 | | Clerk of sponsorship of that bill, it shall be read by title | 9 | | and automatically referred to the Rules Committee in | 10 | | accordance with Rule 18. | 11 | | (e) All bills introduced into the House shall be | 12 | | accompanied by 1 copy. Any bill that amends a statute shall | 13 | | indicate the particular changes in the following manner: | 14 | | (1) All new matter shall be underscored. | 15 | | (2) All matter that is to be omitted or superseded | 16 | | shall be shown crossed with a line. | 17 | | (f) No bill shall be passed by the House except on a record | 18 | | vote of a majority of those elected, subject to Rule 69. A bill | 19 | | that has lost on Third Reading and has not been reconsidered | 20 | | may not thereafter be revived. If a motion for the adoption of | 21 | | a first conference committee report fails and the motion is | 22 | | not reconsidered, then a second conference committee may be | 23 | | appointed as provided in Rule 76(c). If a motion for the | 24 | | adoption of a second conference committee report fails and is | 25 | | not reconsidered, then the bill may not thereafter be revived. | 26 | | (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, no |

| 1 | | member of the House, other than the Speaker or the Minority | 2 | | Leader, may introduce in the House more than 5 bills during the | 3 | | period from the second Wednesday of January in any year to the | 4 | | second Wednesday in January of the following year. This | 5 | | subsection (g) may not be suspended. | 6 | | (Source: H.R. 36, 103rd G.A.) |
