  • Bills must have at least 32 sponsors (40% of the General Assembly) and the first prime sponsor must co-sign the designation notice with the Minority Leader

  • Designated bills must have been on first or second reading for at least 45 days before a notice can be filed; once effective, bills in committee are automatically released

  • A public hearing must be held within 30 days of the notice, after which the bill becomes the order of the day for the next third reading session occurring more than 5 days later
