Rules committee adopts May 7 calendar and sets pre-filing requirement for amendments

The Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration approved its minutes and adopted the calendar for Thursday, May 7, 2026, during a brief meeting on May 4.

Representative Long moved to approve the committee minutes for 2026; the motion was put to a voice vote and the chair announced the minutes were approved after members responded "Aye." The chair then read a proposed calendar for May 7 containing a series of House and Senate file numbers and associated names as listed in the transcript.

The calendar, as read into the record, included items identified in the transcript as "House File 31," "House File 39," "House File 95," and additional House and Senate files (numbers and associated names were partially unclear in the transcript). The chair moved to adopt the calendar pursuant to committee rules and the committee adopted it. The chair announced that a pre-filing requirement for amendments to those bills is now in place.

The meeting concluded with the chair adjourning the session.

Notes on sources and attribution: actions and statements are taken from the committee's May 4 transcript. Where the transcript's reading of bill numbers and names was unclear or garbled, the article reports the items "as read in the transcript" and records uncertainty rather than correcting or inventing numbers.

The committee did not take recorded individual roll-call votes for the calendar in the transcript; votes were conducted by voice and recorded in the transcript only as "Aye" or "Nay."
