AI Summary

  • Amend House Rule 43 to change the voting requirement for suspending House Rules from a simple majority to three-fifths of all members elected to the House

  • Suspension of Rules remains debatable but cannot be reconsidered, laid on the table, postponed indefinitely, or have competing motions except to adjourn during the vote

  • A separate suspension of Rules is required for each individual measure

  • Three-fifths vote requirement mandates a roll call vote rather than a voice vote, ensuring all legislator votes are recorded and publicly available

  • Change intended to require broader consensus among House members before Rules suspension and increase transparency in the legislative process
