HB 3 Legislation; prefiling.

Introduced by: H. Morgan Griffith | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

General Assembly; prefiling. Establishes a set day of the month for prefiling to begin. Currently, prefiling begins 60 days prior to even-numbered-year sessions and 180 days prior to the odd-numbered-year sessions. Pinpointing the date that prefiling begins has been challenging because the convening date for the session varies and the statute is unclear whether the first day of the session is included within the time allowed. The bill establishes the third Monday in November prior to even-numbered year sessions and the third Monday in July prior to odd-numbered year sessions for prefiling to begin. The bill provides that the deadline for prefiling legislation will be established by the procedural resolution of the General Assembly, or the Joint Rules Committee, if the General Assembly has not acted. This schedule is closest to the current prefiling period.
