The committee on rules and legislative administration adopted the day’s calendar and put a pre‑filing requirement in place for amendments to three bills slated for a forthcoming Monday session. The committee chair said, “We’re proposing calendaring 3 bills for the calendar for Monday, 03/15/2026.”
The order lists House File 2169 (Schwartz), House File 3379 (Schumacher) and House File 3615 (Hansen J). The chair moved the adoption of the calendar “pursuant to rule 1.21 and 3.33” and later designated a date for adoption of the calendar; the transcript references both March 15 and March 16 for related scheduling. The committee adopted the calendar by voice vote; the chair then told members that a pre‑filing deadline for amendments is in place under rule 3.33.
The meeting also approved two sets of minutes before taking up the calendar. Representative Jordan moved approval of the minutes from 05/15/2025, saying the minutes “appear to be in order from May 2025.” Representative Coulter moved approval of the minutes noted as 03/10/2026; the chair announced both motions as adopted by voice vote.
Why it matters: designating a calendar and imposing a pre‑filing requirement shapes how and when legislators can offer amendments on the floor. Rule 3.33’s pre‑filing requirement limits which amendments may be considered on the scheduled adoption date unless sponsors comply with the filing requirement.
