The House announced on May 6 that the committee on rules and legislative administration has designated several bills to be placed on the calendar for Monday, May 11, 2026, and established a pre-filing requirement for amendments to certain measures.
The clerk reading the committee report said the designations were made pursuant to House rules 1.21 and 3.33 and listed specific bills that will require advance filing of amendments before consideration. The announcement named Senate File 4476 and House Files 4546 and 1695 among the measures subject to the pre-filing requirement.
Why it matters: imposing a pre-filing deadline for amendments narrows the window for last-minute changes on the floor and gives members and staff time to review proposed modifications ahead of debate. The committee reported the scheduling and requirement as a procedural step to manage floor work in the coming week.
The report was presented as a formal committee notification to the body; no debate followed on the floor. The House proceeded to other routine business after adopting the committee report.
