BY: M. of A. Barclay
 
        AMENDING  section  5  of  Rule III of the Assembly
        rules,  in   relation   to   the   introduction   of
        resolutions
 
  RESOLVED,  That  section  5  of  Rule  III  of the Assembly rules is
amended to read as follows:
 
  § 5. Resolutions.
 
  a. Original resolutions, concurrent or otherwise other than privileged
resolutions may be introduced by a member  under  the  proper  order  of
business  on or before the last Tuesday in May of the second year of the
term of the Assembly.  After the last Tuesday in May of such second year
no such resolution shall be introduced except by the Committee on  Rules
or  by  message  from the Senate or, with the consent of the Speaker, by
members elected at a special election who take office on  or  after  the
last  Tuesday  in  May.   Such resolutions shall be in quadruplicate and
bear the name of the introducer and shall  be  referred  to  a  standing
committee  for  consideration  and  report.    No such resolution may be
introduced unless copies thereof first shall have been furnished to  the
Speaker,  the  Majority Leader and the Minority Leader. Before the House
may vote on a resolution, copies of such resolution shall be  placed  on
each  member's  desk  three  days  prior  to  such  vote  in  written or
electronic format. The Speaker and the Minority  Leader  may  waive  the
three day requirement.
 
  b.  The  following  resolutions  and motions relating thereto shall be
considered privileged and their presentation and consideration shall  be
in order under any order of business:
    (1) resolutions recalling a bill from the Senate;
    (2) resolutions returning a bill to the Senate;
    (3)  resolutions  relating to the disposition of matters immediately
before the House;
    (4) resolutions relating  to  the  business  of  the  day  including
adjournment or recess;
    (5)  resolutions  relating  to  the impeachment of State or judicial
officers;
    (6) resolutions relating to printing  bills,  documents  or  chapter
slips;
    (7)  resolutions  relating  to  the  reports  of  joint  legislative
committees; and
    (8) resolutions  in  memoriam  or  honorific  in  nature,  provided,
however,  that such resolutions shall be placed on each member's desk in
either written or electronic format prior to their consideration.
 
  c. Messages from the  Senate  communicating  a  concurrent  resolution
shall,  if  objection is made to immediate consideration, be referred to
the appropriate committee with power to report at any time.
 
  d. Concurrent resolutions proposing amendments to the Constitution  of
the  State  and  concurrent resolutions ratifying proposed amendments to
the Constitution  of  the  United  States  shall,  for  all  legislative
purposes, be deemed to be and treated as bills.
 
 
  e.  All  resolutions  calling  for  or leading to expenditures, except
resolutions for printing extra copies of bills,  documents  and  chapter
slips,  shall  be  referred  to  the Committee on Ways and Means and all
other  resolutions  shall  be  referred  to  the  appropriate   standing
committee or to an assembly calendar, as the Speaker may designate.

present and voting, provided, however, concurrent resolutions  proposing
amendments  to  the Constitution of the State or ratifying amendments to
the Constitution of the United States and  resolutions  calling  for  or
leading  to  the  expenditure  of  money shall be adopted by a vote of a
majority of all the members elected to the Assembly.
