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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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.
