Rules committee adopts supplemental calendar for May 17, scheduling multiple bills

The House Rules Committee on Sunday adopted a supplemental calendar for May 17 that places several Senate and House files on the schedule and preserves flexibility for same‑day changes.

Chair Long presented the calendar and read the items to be considered, including the following as recorded by the committee: “senate file 44 0 1, Hanson J.; senate file 334 with the author being changed to Torkelson; senate file 1943, author changed to Vang; house file 719 Franzen; house file 2484 Fu Lee; house file 2486 Franzen; senate file 5200 Liebling.”

A member moved to adopt the calendar pursuant to House Rule 1.21; Co‑chair Nisga said, “I encourage member support.” With no further discussion recorded, the committee adopted the calendar by voice vote.

The committee also approved a companion procedural resolution (R19) described below that waives the typical 5 p.m. prior‑day requirement for filing amendments so the rules committee may establish a supplemental calendar and accept amendments on the same day, effective only for the May 17 session.

The committee recessed without taking additional business.
