(2) The majority research office shall make recommendations to the majority leadership on the referral of each such bill to appropriate Leadership or Standing Committees.
(3) Each such bill shall be referred by members of the majority leadership appointed by the President, to one or more appropriate Leadership or Standing Committees for consideration.
(4) Any
referral may be reconsidered by the President upon written request of any chair
who is aggrieved by the referral made within three working days. The President
shall decide and respond to the request for reconsideration by
written notification to the requesting chair within [a reasonable time,]
three working days, which decision shall be final. No request for
reconsideration shall be considered if the timing of the request would have the
effect of killing a bill or resolution.
(5) Any proposed senate draft that makes major amendments or wholesale changes that could affect the referral of the bill shall be submitted to the President for review and if the President deems it appropriate, the bill may be re-referred as determined by the President. The President’s determination of any proposed re-referral shall be made within twenty-four hours of receipt of the proposed senate draft.
(6) Each Leadership and Standing Committee shall consider the bills and other matters referred to it as expeditiously as may be possible."; and
