Adequate Time to Review

Representatives Uyterhoeven of Somerville and Connolly of Cambridge move to amend the order in proposed Rule 33A, in lines 948 to 954, inclusive, by striking out the paragraph contained in those lines and inserting in place thereof the following paragraph:

“33A. Copies of all bills shall be available, in a format to be determined by the Speaker in consultation with the Clerk, to all members of the House and the public at least 72 hours in advance of consideration by the House; provided further that, to the extent practicable, a summary of any bill containing meaningful policy changes to be considered by the House in a formal session shall be made available by the chair of the committee reporting the bill, to all members of the House prior to the commencement of roll calls for the formal session in which the bill will be considered. The House may consider a bill that has not been so available for at least 72 hours only upon a roll call vote of two-thirds of House members present and voting. This rule shall not be suspended unless by unanimous consent of the members present.”.
