Second Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly
NINTH DAY, Thursday, January 22, 2004
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend Donald W. Lammers.
(Whatever the agenda of our work today, LIFE is a good focus for this morning’s invocation)
Let us pray, first, by listening to a verse from the Hebrew Scriptures, the BOOK OF GENESIS.
“The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground
and blew into his nostrils the breath of life
and so man became a living being.”
Genesis 2:7
Holy God, Father Eternal, our Creator, however we interpret the scriptures, we who believe in You learn from this verse that You are the Creator of life.
We thank You for our own life. It is our most precious possession. In our families many of us are entrusted with care for the very lives of others. We have accepted this responsibility and are thankful for the love and fulfillment we receive in supporting, nurturing and caring for the very lives of our loved ones.
In our work here, we accept a similar responsibility of supporting and caring for the lives of others. In our family and our work, may our faith cause us to remember that You, the Creator of life, are the Lord of life.
May we and other leaders in our State and across our Nation make plans, develop legislation, and so govern that we always respect You alone as God and as Lord of Life.
You are our God forever and ever. Amen
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Journal of the eighth day was approved as corrected by the following vote:

The membership of all standing committees and all other committees and commissions, unless otherwise provided by the act or resolution creating them, shall be composed as nearly as may be, of majority and minority party members in the same proportion as the number of majority and minority party members in the House bears to the total membership of the House, except for the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee shall consist of an equal number of members from the majority and minority party.
Committee Hearings
Rule 27. All bills referred to committees shall be considered by giving the [author] sponsor or handler, the proponents [and], the opponents, and those testifying for informational purposes a reasonable opportunity to be heard. [A committee chair shall not restrict the length of testimony of any witness nor the length of questioning of any witness by a committee member except that the "15 minute rule" shall apply. At the Chair's discretion, the "15 minute rule" may be extended. The "15 minute rule" may only be shortened by the unanimous consent of the committee members present when such waiver is proposed.] Persons addressing the committee [shall] must keep their remarks to the point and avoid repetition and are subject to call to order by the chair for failure to do so. [The time limits set forth in this rule shall apply to witnesses as well as members.] In the discretion of the committee chair, the length of time allowed one speaker or questioner may be limited.
BILLS

A footnote shall be annexed to the first page of each bill which contains material enclosed in bold-faced brackets to the following effect:
"Explanation - Matter enclosed in bold-faced brackets [thus] in the above bill is not enacted and is intended to be omitted from the law. Matter in bold-face type in the above bill is proposed language."

A motion to have a bill placed upon the calendar must be made within three legislative days after the bill is reported and when the sponsor of the bill is present or the motion is made by a member upon the sponsor's written request. If no such action is taken within said time, the bill shall lie on the table.
Consent Calendar
Rule 44. (a) Which Bills May Be Placed on the Consent Calendar. Each committee, after a favorable vote on a bill, may further determine by a second and affirmative vote of every member present whether or not such bill is of a noncontroversial nature. Any bill which increases net expenditures of the state, reduces net revenue of the state, or contains penalty provisions, shall not be considered by the committee for consent; provided however, any bill which specifically authorizes an easement or right-of-way involving state property may be considered by the committee for placement on the Consent Calendar.
(b) Procedure on House Bills. If the committee shall so determine, the committee report shall include a request that a bill be placed on the "House Consent Calendar for Perfection". Any bill so reported shall automatically be placed on that calendar and after said bill has remained on the "House Consent Calendar for Perfection" for five legislative days, it shall be ordered perfected and advanced to the "House Consent Calendar for Third Reading and Final Passage" without further action of the House, unless five members, with at least two from each political party, have filed written objection with the Chief Clerk. If such objections are filed, the bill shall be placed on the House Bills to be Perfected and Printed Calendar. An objection made by five members under this rule cannot be rescinded.
(c) Senate Bills - Consent. When the Senate passes a bill by its procedure for consent bills, such bill shall be considered for treatment as a consent bill by the House committee without further request; provided however, that the same committee procedures, votes and requirements for House Bills being considered for consent shall be applied to Senate Bills being considered for consent. A Senate Bill may be considered by the committee for Consent even if it was not a Consent Bill in the Senate.
(d) Procedure on Senate Bills. Senate Bills passed out of the House committee with the request that the bill be placed on the Senate Bills for Third Reading and Final Passage - Consent Calendar are subject to the five member objection provision of this rule.
(e) Deadline for [Taking up] Referring Senate Consent Bills to Committee. No Senate consent bills [may be taken up after 6:00 p.m.] shall be referred to committee after the close of the legislative day on the first Thursday [following the third Monday] in April.
(f) Amendments. House bills may be considered for consent after they are amended in committee but may not be amended on the floor of the House.
Senate consent bills may be amended in committee but not on the floor of the House unless the Senate Rules allow amendment of House consent bills on the floor of the Senate in which case Senate consent bills may be amended on the floor of the House. House committee amendments and House committee substitutes to Senate consent bills shall be voted on by the House before the vote to Third Read and Pass.
AMENDMENTS AND SUBSTITUTES
Rule 45. (a) In Writing. Proposed amendments must be reduced to writing. Every amendment shall be read in its entirety by the clerk unless it has been distributed in advance, the amendment's sponsor requests waiver of the reading, and there is no objection to the request. An amendment shall be considered to have been distributed in advance if, before it is offered, it has been placed on the members' desks in paper form. Every amendment that exceeds two pages in length must be distributed in advance unless the amendment's sponsor requests waiver of the distribution, and there is no objection to the request. The sponsor of an amendment that has been distributed may make technical corrections at the time the amendment is offered or under consideration. Any technical corrections shall be read in full by the clerk. Technical corrections shall be subject to a point of order that they are not truly technical in nature.
(b) What Amendments and Substitute Amendments are in Order. When a bill, motion or proposition is under consideration, a motion to amend and a motion to amend that amendment shall be in order, and it shall also be in order to offer a further amendment by way of a substitute, to which one amendment may be offered. When an amendment is offered, a substitute for that amendment is offered and an amendment to the substitute is offered, it shall not be in order to offer a substitute for the amendment to the substitute. Any proposed amendment in the third degree shall be out of order. Any bill or amendment may be withdrawn by the sponsor before amendment or decision thereon. Once a bill has been amended, it shall be in the possession of the House.
(c) House Substitutes and Committee Substitutes Treated as Original. A House committee substitute and any House substitute shall be considered as an original bill for purposes of amendment.
(d) House Substitute. A House substitute must be distributed to the members at least one legislative day prior to its consideration by the House. A House amendment which, in the opinion of the Speaker, is in reality a House substitute, must be distributed in the same manner as a House substitute.
(e) One House Substitute at a Time. Only one House substitute shall be in order at one time; provided however, that if a member has previously distributed a different House substitute, an explanation of the alternative House substitute shall not be subject to a point of order that such explanation is not germane to the pending House substitute then under consideration.
(f) When Federal Mandate Bills can be Amended. Amendments to House and Senate bills-Federal Mandate are permitted only within the scope of the federal mandate. Perfecting amendments are permitted to make technical amendments.
(g) Appropriations Bills. 1. No amendment to the first 12 appropriations bills of the state budget constituting the operating budget of the state shall be in order if it increases the total amount of general revenue or general revenue equivalent appropriated in the aforementioned 12 House appropriations bills as reported from the Committee on Budget. Any amendment that increases the amount of general revenue or general revenue equivalent appropriated in the aforementioned 12 House appropriations bills shall be required to contain an equal reduction in general revenue or general revenue equivalent appropriated in the same bill or shall be required to be submitted with a separate amendment that makes an equal reduction in general revenue or general revenue equivalent in any other of the twelve bills still pending. If the reduction is in another bill, the decreasing amendment shall be taken up first, and the increasing amendment may be taken up only if the decreasing amendment is adopted.
2. If a member's decreasing amendment is adopted and the same member's increasing amendment is defeated, the decreasing amendment's adoption is void.
3. The offering and adoption of an amendment decreasing the amount of general revenue or general revenue equivalent appropriated without a balancing increase in the same amendment or a paired amendment creates no right of another member to offer an increasing amendment in any amount up to the amount of the decrease effected by the decreasing amendment, and no member may be recognized for the purpose of making such an amendment.
4. For the perfection of the first 12 House appropriations bills of the state budget constituting the operating budget of the state only, it shall be permissible to amend any line item as often as the House pleases, as long as prior adopted amendments to the line item are taken into account.
5. No House Committee Substitute or House Substitute of the state budget constituting the operating budget of the state shall be adopted until all amendments to the first 12 House appropriations bills or substitute have been disposed of.
BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS
Ayes and Noes Taken
Rule 49. When a bill shall have passed the House and been returned from the Senate with amendments, said amendments may be concurred in collectively[, or amended,] by a constitutional majority, unless objection be made, in which case the vote shall be taken severally, and no amendment or amendments shall be concurred in by the House except by a constitutional majority and the names of those voting for and against recorded upon the Journal of the House.
Motion for [Final] Passage
Rule 53. When the Chief Clerk presents a bill as truly perfected and printed, it shall go upon the calendar to be agreed to and passed. When the bill is taken up in its order, the question shall then be: "Shall the bill be third read and passed?" It shall require a constitutional majority to sustain the question.
Division of Questions
Rule 74. Any member may have, as a personal right, a division of the question where the sense will admit of it. When the question having been divided is a Senate Bill for Third Reading, each part of the bill shall be voted upon separately and a subsequent separate vote shall be taken on the entire bill. When a bill is divided for consideration, the title and enacting clause shall be considered a separate part and shall, unless otherwise amended, be technically changed to reflect any amendments or deletions to the bill. When a question has been divided, Rule 83 shall apply to all parts collectively as though no division had occurred.
Ascending the Dais
Rule 96. No person shall ascend to the Dais without first being recognized to do so by the Speaker. The Speaker may invite any person to ascend the dais.
