House of Representatives
Session of 2021 - 2022 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: April 22, 2021 05:04 PM
From: Representative Elizabeth Fiedler
To: All House members
Subject: Play By The Rules
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation to end the current requirement that all bills during a certain time period every year – normally around the budget deadline – be sent to the House Rules Committee before being sent to the full House for final debate. This puts far too much power in the hands of a few House leaders when important legislation that affects every single citizen is being considered. This change would reduce the control the majority leader has over bills and allow members to move bills without one person stopping them.
