Such committee amendments, whether filed 5 8 at the time of initial committee passage of the bill 5 9 to the floor for debate or after rereferral to the 5 10 committee, shall not be incorporated into the bill in 5 11 the originating house but shall be filed separately. 5 12 Amendments filed from the floor to strike sections of 5 13 the bill or the committee amendments shall be in order. 5 14 Following amendment and passage by the second house, 5 15 only amendments filed from the floor which strike 5 16 sections of the amendment of the second house shall be 5 17 in order. 5 18 A bill recommended by the Code editor which is 5 19 passed out of committee to the floor for debate by a 5 20 committee of the house or senate and which contains 5 21 Code corrections beyond those of a nonsubstantive 5 22 nature shall not be amended on the floor of either 5 23 house except pursuant to amendments filed by the 5 24 judiciary committee of the senate or the house. Such 5 25 committee amendments, whether filed at the time of 5 26 initial committee passage of the bill to the floor for 5 27 debate or after rereferral to the committee, shall 5 28 not be incorporated into the bill in the originating 5 29 house but shall be filed separately. Such a bill shall 5 30 be limited to corrections which: Adjust language to 6 1 reflect current practices, insert earlier omissions, 6 2 delete redundancies and inaccuracies, delete temporary 6 3 language, resolve inconsistencies and conflicts, 6 4 update ongoing provisions, and remove ambiguities. 6 5 Amendments filed from the floor to strike sections of 6 6 the bill or the committee amendments shall be in order. 6 7 Following amendment and passage by the second house, 6 8 only amendments filed from the floor which strike 6 9 sections of the amendment of the second house shall be 6 10 in order. 6 11 It is the intent of the house and the senate that 6 12 such bills be passed out of committee to the floor for 6 13 debate within the first four weeks of convening of a 6 14 legislative session. 6 15 Rule 12 6 16 Amendments by Other House 6 17 1. When a bill which originated in one house is 6 18 amended in the other house, the house originating 6 19 the bill may amend the amendment, concur in full in 6 20 the amendment, or refuse to concur in full in the 6 21 amendment. Precedence of motions shall be in that 6 22 order. The amendment of the other house shall not be 6 23 ruled out of order based on a question of germaneness. 6 24 a. If the house originating the bill concurs in the 6 25 amendment, the bill shall then be immediately placed 6 26 upon its final passage. 6 27 b. If the house originating the bill refuses to 6 28 concur in the amendment, the bill shall be returned to 6 29 the amending house which shall either: 6 30 (1) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for 7 1 the last time and immediately placed upon its final 7 2 passage; or 7 3 (2) Insist, which will send the bill to a 7 4 conference committee. 7 5 c. If the house originating the bill amends the 7 6 amendment, that house shall concur in the amendment 7 7 as amended and the bill shall be immediately placed 7 8 on final passage, and shall be returned to the other 7 9 house. The other house cannot further amend the bill. 7 10 (1) If the amending house which gave second 7 11 consideration to the bill concurs in the amendment 7 12 to the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately 7 13 placed upon its final passage. 7 14 (2) If the amending house refuses to concur in the 7 15 amendment to the amendment, the bill shall be returned 7 16 to the house originating the bill which shall either: 7 17 (a) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for 7 18 the last time as amended and immediately placed upon 7 19 its final passage; or 7 20 (b) Insist, which will send the bill to a 7 21 conference committee. 7 22 2. A motion to recede has precedence over a motion 7 23 to insist. Failure to recede means to insist; and 7 24 failure to insist means to recede. 7 25 3. A motion to lay on the table or to indefinitely 7 26 postpone shall be out of order with respect to motions 7 27 to recede from or insist upon and to amendments to 7 28 bills which have passed both houses. 7 29 4. A motion to concur, refuse to concur, recede, 7 30 insist, or adopt a conference committee report is in 8 1 order even though the subject matter has previously 8 2 been acted upon. 8 3 Rule 13 8 4 Conference Committee 8 5 1. Within one legislative day after either house 8 6 insists upon an amendment to a bill, the presiding 8 7 officer of the house, after consultation with the 8 8 majority leader, shall appoint three majority party 8 9 members and, after consultation with the minority 8 10 leader, shall appoint two minority party members 8 11 to a conference committee. The majority leader of 8 12 the senate, after consultation with the president, 8 13 shall appoint three majority party members and, 8 14 after consultation with and approval by the minority 8 15 leader, shall appoint two minority party members to a 8 16 conference committee. The papers shall remain with the 8 17 house that originated the bill. 8 18 2. The conference committee shall meet before 8 19 the end of the next legislative day after their 8 20 appointment, shall select a chair and shall discuss the 8 21 controversy. 8 22 3. The authority of the first conference committee 8 23 shall cover only issues related to provisions of the 8 24 bill and amendments to the bill which were adopted 8 25 by either the senate or the house of representatives 8 26 and on which the senate and house of representatives 8 27 differed. If a conference committee report is not 8 28 acted upon because such action would violate this 8 29 subsection of this rule, the inaction on the report 8 30 shall constitute refusal to adopt the conference 9 1 committee report and shall have the same effect as if 9 2 the conference committee had disagreed. 9 3 4. An agreement on recommendations must be approved 9 4 by a majority of the committee members from each house. 9 5 The committee shall submit two originals of the report 9 6 signed by a majority of the committee members of each 9 7 house with one signed original and three copies to be 9 8 submitted to each house. The report shall first be 9 9 acted upon in the house originating the bill. Such 9 10 action, including all papers, shall be immediately 9 11 referred by the secretary of the senate or the chief 9 12 clerk of the house of representatives to the other 9 13 house. 9 14 5. The report of agreement is debatable, but 9 15 cannot be amended. If the report contains recommended 9 16 amendments to the bill, adoption of the report shall 9 17 automatically adopt all amendments contained therein. 9 18 After the report is adopted, there shall be no more 9 19 debate, and the bill shall immediately be placed upon 9 20 its final passage. 9 21 6. Refusal of either house to adopt the conference 9 22 committee report has the same effect as if the 9 23 committee had disagreed. 9 24 7. If the conference committee fails to reach 9 25 agreement, a report of such failure signed by a 9 26 majority of the committee members of each house shall 9 27 be given promptly to each house. The bill shall 9 28 be returned to the house that originated the bill, 9 29 the members of the committee shall be immediately 9 30 discharged, and a new conference committee appointed in 10 1 the same manner as the first conference committee. 10 2 8. The authority of a second or subsequent 10 3 conference committee shall cover free conference during 10 4 which the committee has authority to propose amendments 10 5 to any portion of a bill provided the amendment is 10 6 within the subject matter content of the bill as passed 10 7 by the house of origin or as amended by the second 10 8 house. 10 9 Rule 14 10 10 Enrollment and Authentication of Bills 10 11 A bill or resolution which has passed both houses 10 12 shall be enrolled in the house of origin under the 10 13 direction of either the secretary of the senate or the 10 14 chief clerk of the house and its house of origin shall 10 15 be certified by the endorsement of the secretary of the 10 16 senate or the chief clerk of the house. 10 17 After enrollment, each bill shall be signed by the 10 18 president of the senate and by the speaker of the 10 19 house. 10 20 Rule 15 10 21 Concerning Other Enrollments 10 22 All resolutions and other matters which are to 10 23 be presented to the governor for approval shall be 10 24 enrolled, signed, and presented in the same manner as 10 25 bills. 10 26 All resolutions and other matters which are not to 10 27 be presented to the governor or the secretary of state 10 28 shall be enrolled, signed, and retained permanently 10 29 by the secretary of the senate or chief clerk of the 10 30 house. 11 1 Rule 16 11 2 Transmission of Bills to the Governor 11 3 After a bill has been signed in each house, it shall 11 4 be presented by the house of origin to the governor by 11 5 either the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk 11 6 of the house. The secretary or the chief clerk shall 11 7 report the date of the presentation, which shall be 11 8 entered upon the journal of the house of origin. 11 9 Rule 17 11 10 Fiscal Notes 11 11 A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or joint 11 12 resolution which reasonably could have an annual effect 11 13 of at least one hundred thousand dollars or a combined 11 14 total effect within five years after enactment of 11 15 five hundred thousand dollars or more on the aggregate 11 16 revenues, expenditures, or fiscal liability of the 11 17 state or its subdivisions. This rule does not apply 11 18 to appropriation and ways and means measures where the 11 19 total effect is stated in dollar amounts. 11 20 Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the 11 21 estimated effect of the bill on the revenues, 11 22 expenditures, and fiscal liability of the state or 11 23 its subdivisions during the first five years after 11 24 enactment. The information shall specifically note 11 25 the fiscal impact for the first two years following 11 26 enactment and the anticipated impact for the succeeding 11 27 three years. The fiscal note shall specify the source 11 28 of the information. Sources of funds for expenditures 11 29 under the bill shall be stated, including federal 11 30 funds. If an accurate estimate cannot be made, the 12 1 fiscal note shall state the best available estimate or 12 2 shall state that no dollar estimate can be made and 12 3 state concisely the reason. 12 4 The preliminary determination of whether the bill 12 5 appears to require a fiscal note shall be made by 12 6 the legal services staff of the legislative services 12 7 agency. Unless the requestor specifies the request is 12 8 to be confidential, upon completion of the bill draft, 12 9 the legal services staff shall immediately send a copy 12 10 to the fiscal services director for review. 12 11 When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the 12 12 committee shall state in the report whether a fiscal 12 13 note is or is not required. 12 14 The fiscal services director or the director's 12 15 designee shall review all bills placed on the senate 12 16 or house calendars to determine whether the bills are 12 17 subject to this rule. 12 18 Additionally, a legislator may request the 12 19 preparation of a fiscal note by the fiscal services 12 20 staff for any bill or joint resolution introduced which 12 21 reasonably could be subject to this rule. 12 22 The fiscal services director or the director's 12 23 designee shall cause to be prepared and shall approve 12 24 a fiscal note within a reasonable time after receiving 12 25 a request or determining that a bill is subject to 12 26 this rule. All fiscal notes approved by the fiscal 12 27 services director shall be transmitted immediately to 12 28 the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the 12 29 house, after notifying the sponsor of the bill that a 12 30 fiscal note has been prepared, for publication in the 13 1 daily clip sheet. The secretary of the senate or chief 13 2 clerk of the house shall attach the fiscal note to the 13 3 bill as soon as it is available. 13 4 The fiscal services director may request the 13 5 cooperation of any state department or agency in 13 6 preparing a fiscal note. 13 7 A revised fiscal note may be requested by a 13 8 legislator if the fiscal effect of the bill has been 13 9 changed by adoption of an amendment. However, a 13 10 request for a revised fiscal note shall not delay 13 11 action on a bill unless so ordered by the presiding 13 12 officer of the house in which the bill is under 13 13 consideration. 13 14 If a date for adjournment has been set, then a 13 15 constitutional majority of the house in which the 13 16 bill is under consideration may waive the fiscal note 13 17 requirement during the three days prior to the date set 13 18 for adjournment. 13 19 Rule 18 13 20 Legislative Interns 13 21 Legislators may arrange student internships during 13 22 the legislative session with Iowa college, university, 13 23 or law school students, for which the students may 13 24 receive college credit at the discretion of their 13 25 schools. Each legislator is allowed only one intern 13 26 at a time per legislative session, and all interns must 13 27 be registered with the offices of the secretary of the 13 28 senate and the chief clerk of the house. 13 29 The purpose of the legislative intern program shall 13 30 be: to provide useful staff services to legislators 14 1 not otherwise provided by the general assembly; to give 14 2 interested college, graduate, and law school students 14 3 practical experience in the legislative process as well 14 4 as providing a meaningful educational experience; and 14 5 to enrich the curriculum of participating colleges and 14 6 universities. 14 7 The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of 14 8 the house or their designees shall have the following 14 9 responsibilities as regards the legislative intern 14 10 program: 14 11 1. Identify a supervising faculty member at each 14 12 participating institution who shall be responsible 14 13 for authorizing students to participate in the intern 14 14 program. 14 15 2. Provide legislators with a list of participating 14 16 institutions and the names of supervising professors to 14 17 contact if interested in arranging for an intern. 14 18 3. Provide interns with name badges which will 14 19 allow them access to the floor of either house when 14 20 required to be present by the legislators for whom they 14 21 work. 14 22 4. Provide orientation materials to interns prior 14 23 to the convening of each session. 14 24 Rule 19 14 25 Administrative Rules Review Committee Bills and Rule 14 26 Referrals 14 27 A bill which relates to departmental rules and 14 28 which is approved by the administrative rules review 14 29 committee by a majority of the committee's members 14 30 of each house is eligible for introduction in either 15 1 house at any time and must be referred to a standing 15 2 committee, which must take action on the bill within 15 3 three weeks of referral, except bills referred to 15 4 appropriations and ways and means committees. 15 5 If, on or after July 1, 1999, the administrative 15 6 rules review committee delays the effective date of a 15 7 rule until the adjournment of the next regular session 15 8 of the general assembly and the speaker of the house 15 9 or the president of the senate refers the rule to a 15 10 standing committee, the standing committee shall review 15 11 the rule within twenty=one days of the referral and 15 12 shall take formal committee action by sponsoring a 15 13 joint resolution to disapprove the rule, by proposing 15 14 legislation relating to the rule, or by refusing to 15 15 propose a joint resolution or legislation concerning 15 16 the rule. The standing committee shall inform the 15 17 administrative rules review committee of the committee 15 18 action taken concerning the rule. 15 19 Rule 20 15 20 Time of Committee Passage and Consideration of Bills 15 21 1. This rule does not apply to concurrent or 15 22 simple resolutions, joint resolutions nullifying 15 23 administrative rules, senate confirmations, bills 15 24 embodying redistricting plans prepared by the 15 25 legislative services agency pursuant to chapter 15 26 42, or bills passed by both houses in different 15 27 forms. Subsection 2 of this rule does not apply to 15 28 appropriations bills, ways and means bills, government 15 29 oversight bills, legalizing acts, administrative 15 30 rules review committee bills, bills sponsored by 16 1 standing committees in response to a referral from 16 2 the president of the senate or the speaker of the 16 3 house of representatives relating to an administrative 16 4 rule whose effective date has been delayed or whose 16 5 applicability has been suspended until the adjournment 16 6 of the next regular session of the general assembly 16 7 by the administrative rules review committee, bills 16 8 cosponsored by majority and minority floor leaders of 16 9 one house, bills in conference committee, and companion 16 10 bills sponsored by the majority floor leaders of both 16 11 houses after consultation with the respective minority 16 12 floor leaders. For the purposes of this rule, a joint 16 13 resolution is considered as a bill. To be considered 16 14 an appropriations, ways and means, or government 16 15 oversight bill for the purposes of this rule, the 16 16 appropriations committee, the ways and means committee, 16 17 or the government oversight committee must either 16 18 be the sponsor of the bill or the committee of first 16 19 referral in the originating house. 16 20 2. To be placed on the calendar in the house of 16 21 origin, a bill must be first reported out of a standing 16 22 committee by Friday of the 8th week of the first 16 23 session and the 6th week of the second session.

A "concurrent resolution" is a resolution to 17 19 be adopted by both houses of the general assembly 17 20 which expresses the sentiment of the general assembly 17 21 or deals with temporary legislative matters. It 17 22 may authorize the expenditure, for any legislative 17 23 purpose, of funds appropriated to the general assembly. 17 24 A concurrent resolution is not limited to, but may 17 25 provide for a joint convention of the general assembly, 17 26 adjournment or recess of the general assembly, or 17 27 requests to a state agency or to the general assembly 17 28 or a committee. A concurrent resolution requires 17 29 the affirmative vote of a majority of the senators or 17 30 representatives present and voting unless otherwise 18 1 specified by statute. A concurrent resolution does 18 2 not require the governor's approval unless otherwise 18 3 specified by statute. A concurrent resolution shall 18 4 be filed with the secretary of the senate or the chief 18 5 clerk of the house. A concurrent resolution shall be 18 6 printed in the bound journal after its adoption. 18 7 2. A "joint resolution" is a resolution which 18 8 requires for approval the affirmative vote of a 18 9 constitutional majority of each house of the general 18 10 assembly. A joint resolution which appropriates funds 18 11 or enacts temporary laws must contain the clause "Be It 18 12 Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Iowa:", 18 13 is equivalent to a bill, and must be transmitted to 18 14 the governor for approval. A joint resolution which 18 15 proposes amendments to the Constitution of the State 18 16 of Iowa, ratifies amendments to the Constitution of 18 17 the United States, proposes a request to Congress 18 18 or an agency of the government of the United States 18 19 of America, proposes to Congress an amendment to the 18 20 Constitution of the United States of America, nullifies 18 21 an administrative rule, or creates a special commission 18 22 or committee must contain the clause "Be It Resolved by 18 23 the General Assembly of the State of Iowa:" and shall 18 24 not be transmitted to the governor.

A nullification 19 2 resolution shall not amend an administrative rule by 19 3 adding language or by inserting new language in lieu of 19 4 existing language. 19 5 A nullification resolution is debatable, but cannot 19 6 be amended on the floor of the house or senate. The 19 7 effective date of a nullification resolution shall 19 8 be stated in the resolution. Any motions filed to 19 9 reconsider adoption of a nullification resolution 19 10 must be disposed of within one legislative day of the 19 11 filing. 19 12 Rule 23 19 13 Consideration of Vetoes 19 14 1.

Bills returned to that house by the governor 19 18 in accordance with Article III, section 16 of the 19 19 Constitution of the State of Iowa. 19 20 b. Appropriations items returned to that house by 19 21 the governor in accordance with Article III, section 16 19 22 of the Constitution of the State of Iowa. 19 23 c. Bills and appropriations items received from the 19 24 other house after that house has voted to override a 19 25 veto of them by the governor. 19 26 2.
