appropriate committees. No House resolution shall be deemed
noncontroversial if an indictment is returned or a charge is
filed before a court of record against the prime sponsor of the
resolution, and the gravamen of the indictment or charge is
directly related to his or her conduct as a member or is one
which would render the member ineligible to the General Assembly
under section 7 of Article II of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania. If, during the same legislative term, the
indictment or charge is quashed, dismissed or withdrawn, or the
court finds that the member is not guilty of the offense
alleged, the member may be the prime sponsor of subsequently
introduced House resolutions deemed noncontroversial as provided
in this rule.
House resolutions deemed noncontroversial[, including, but
not limited to,] shall be limited to only condolence [and
congratulatory] resolutions for current or former members of the
House of Representatives or a line of duty fatality of a
firefighter, police officer, EMT, fire police officer or member
of the armed services[,] and shall be considered under the
proper order of business on the same day as introduced or within
two legislative days thereafter without being referred to
committee. The Speaker, in consultation with the Majority Leader
and the Minority Leader, shall place noncontroversial
resolutions[, except condolence or congratulatory resolutions,]
on an uncontested resolution calendar. Resolutions on the
uncontested calendar may be voted by a single roll-call vote.
Each resolution listed on the uncontested resolution calendar
shall be printed separately in the journal with the vote
recorded on the approval of the uncontested calendar as the vote
on final passage of each resolution contained therein.
