  5  2 pursuant to corrective or nonsubstantive amendments
  5  3 filed by the judiciary committee of the senate or the
  5  4 judiciary and law enforcement committee of the house.
  5  5 Such committee amendments shall not be incorporated
  5  6 into the bill in the originating house but shall be
  5  7 filed separately.  Amendments to strike sections of
  5  8 the bill or the committee amendments filed from the
  5  9 floor shall be in order.  Following amendment and
  5 10 passage by the second house, only amendments filed
  5 11 form from the floor which strike sections of the
  5 12 amendment of the second house or amendments files
  5 13 filed from the floor by the judiciary or judiciary and

  5 17    A bill recommended by the code editor which is
  5 18 introduced by a committee of the house or senate
  5 19 within the first four weeks of convening of a
  5 20 legislative session and which contains code

  5 22 may be amended pursuant to amendments filed by the
  5 23 judiciary committee of the senate or the judiciary and
  5 24 law enforcement committee of the house.  Such
  5 25 committee amendments shall not be incorporated into
  5 26 the bill in the originating house but shall be filed
  5 27 separately.  Such a bill shall be limited to
  5 28 corrections which:  Adjust language to reflect current
  5 29 practices, insert earlier omissions, delete
  5 30 redundancies and inaccuracies, delete temporary
  6  1 language, resolve inconsistencies and conflicts,
  6  2 update ongoing provisions, and remove ambiguities.
  6  3 Amendments to strike sections of the bill or the
  6  4 committee amendments filed from the floor shall be in
  6  5 order.  Following amendment and passage by the second
  6  6 house, only amendments filed from the floor which
  6  7 strike sections of the amendment of the second house
  6  8 or amendments filed from the floor by the judiciary or
  6  9 judiciary and law enforcement committee which perfect
  6 10 or strike sections of the of the amendment of the
  6 11 second house shall be in order.  
  6 12                         Rule 12
  6 13                Amendments by Other House
  6 14    I.  When a bill which originated in one house is
  6 15 amended in the other house, the house originating the
  6 16 bill may amend the amendment, concur in full in the
  6 17 amendment, or refuse to concur in full in the
  6 18 amendment.  Precedence of motions shall be in that
  6 19 order.  The amendment of the other house shall not be
  6 20 ruled out of order based on a question of germaneness.
  6 21    A.  If the house originating the bill concurs in
  6 22 the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately
  6 23 placed upon its final passage.
  6 24    B.  If the house originating the bill refuses to
  6 25 concur in the amendment, the bill shall be returned to
  6 26 the amending house which shall either:
  6 27    1.  Recede, after which the bill shall be read for
  6 28 the last time and immediately placed upon its final
  6 29 passage; or
  6 30    2.  Insist, which will send the bill to a
  7  1 conference committee.
  7  2    C.  If the house originating the bill amends the
  7  3 amendment, that house shall concur in the amendment as
  7  4 amended and the bill shall be immediately placed on
  7  5 final passage, and shall be returned to the other
  7  6 house.  The other house cannot further amend the bill.
  7  7    1.  If the amending house which gave second
  7  8 consideration to the bill concurs in the amendment to
  7  9 the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately
  7 10 placed upon its final passage.
  7 11    2.  If the amending house refuses to concur in the
  7 12 amendment to the amendment, the bill shall be returned
  7 13 to the house originating the bill which shall either:
  7 14    a.  Recede, after which the bill shall be read for
  7 15 the last time as amended and immediately placed upon
  7 16 its final passage; or
  7 17    b.  Insist, which will send the bill to a
  7 18 conference committee.
  7 19    II.  A motion to recede has precedence over a
  7 20 motion to insist.  Failure to recede means to insist;
  7 21 and failure to insist means to recede.
  7 22    III.  A motion to lay on the table or to
  7 23 indefinitely postpone shall be out of order with
  7 24 respect to motions to recede from or insist upon and
  7 25 to amendments to bills which have passed both houses.
  7 26    IV.  A motion to concur, refuse to concur, recede,
  7 27 insist, or adopt a conference committee report is in
  7 28 order even though the subject matter has previously
  7 29 been acted upon.  
  7 30                         Rule 13
  8  1                  Conference Committee
  8  2    1.  Within one legislative day after either house
  8  3 insists upon an amendment to a bill, the presiding
  8  4 officer of the house, after consultation with the
  8  5 majority leader, shall appoint three majority party
  8  6 members and, after consultation with the minority
  8  7 leader, shall appoint two minority party members to a
  8  8 conference committee.  The majority leader of the
  8  9 senate, after consultation with the president, shall
  8 10 appoint three majority party members and, after
  8 11 consultation with and approval by the minority leader,
  8 12 shall appoint two minority party members to a
  8 13 conference committee. The papers shall remain with the
  8 14 house that originated the bill.
  8 15    2.  The conference committee shall meet before the
  8 16 end of the next legislative day after their
  8 17 appointment, shall select a chair and shall discuss
  8 18 the controversy.
  8 19    3.  The authority of the first conference committee
  8 20 shall cover only issues related to provisions of the
  8 21 bill and amendments to the bill which were adopted by
  8 22 either the senate or the house of representatives and
  8 23 on which the senate and house of representatives
  8 24 differed.
  8 25    4.  An agreement on recommendations must be
  8 26 approved by at least three members from each house.
  8 27 The committee shall submit two originals of the report
  8 28 signed by at least three members of each house with
  8 29 one signed original and three copies to be submitted
  8 30 to each house.  The report shall first be acted upon
  9  1 in the house originating the bill.  Such action,
  9  2 including all papers, shall be immediately referred by
  9  3 the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the
  9  4 house of representatives to the other house.
  9  5    5.  The report of agreement is debatable, but
  9  6 cannot be amended.  If the report contains recommended
  9  7 amendments to the bill, adoption of the report shall
  9  8 automatically adopt all amendments contained therein.
  9  9 After the report is adopted, there shall be no more
  9 10 debate, and the bill shall immediately be placed upon
  9 11 its final passage.
  9 12    6.  Refusal of either house to adopt the conference
  9 13 committee report has the same effect as if the
  9 14 committee had disagreed.
  9 15    7.  If the conference committee fails to reach
  9 16 agreement, a report of such failure signed by at least
  9 17 three members of each house shall be given promptly to
  9 18 each house.  The bill shall be returned to the house
  9 19 that originated the bill, the members of the committee
  9 20 shall be immediately discharged, and a new conference
  9 21 committee appointed in the same manner as the first
  9 22 conference committee.
  9 23    8.  The authority of a second or subsequent
  9 24 conference committee shall cover free conference
  9 25 during which the committee has authority to propose
  9 26 amendments to any portion of a bill provided the
  9 27 amendment is within the scope of the title of the bill
  9 28 as passed by the house of origin or amended by the
  9 29 second house.  
  9 30                         Rule 14
 10  1         Enrollment and Authentication of Bills
 10  2    A bill or resolution which has passed both houses
 10  3 shall be enrolled in the house of origin under the
 10  4 direction of either the secretary or the chief clerk
 10  5 and its house of origin shall be certified by the
 10  6 endorsement of the secretary or the chief clerk.
 10  7    After enrollment, each bill shall be signed by the
 10  8 president and by the speaker.  
 10  9                         Rule 15
 10 10              Concerning other Enrollments
 10 11    All resolutions and other matters which are to be
 10 12 presented to the governor for approval shall be
 10 13 enrolled, signed, and presented in the same manner as
 10 14 bills.
 10 15    All resolutions and other matters which are not to
 10 16 be presented to the governor or the secretary of state
 10 17 shall be enrolled, signed and retained permanently by
 10 18 the secretary of the senate or chief clerk of the
 10 19 house.  
 10 20                         Rule 16
 10 21          Transmission of Bills to the Governor
 10 22    After a bill has been signed in each house, it
 10 23 shall be presented to the governor by the secretary or
 10 24 the chief clerk of the house of origin.  The secretary
 10 25 or the chief clerk shall report the date of the
 10 26 presentation, which shall be entered upon the journal
 10 27 of the house of origin.  
 10 28                         Rule 17
 10 29                      Fiscal Notes
 10 30    A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or
 11  1 joint resolution which reasonably could have an annual
 11  2 effect of at least one hundred thousand dollars or a
 11  3 combined total effect within five years after
 11  4 enactment of five hundred thousand dollars or more on
 11  5 the aggregate revenues, expenditures or fiscal
 11  6 liability of the state or its subdivisions.  This rule
 11  7 does not apply to appropriation and ways and means
 11  8 measures where the total effect is stated in dollar
 11  9 amounts.
 11 10    Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the
 11 11 estimated effect of the bill on the revenues,
 11 12 expenditures, and fiscal liability of the state or its
 11 13 subdivisions during the first five years after
 11 14 enactment.  The information shall specifically note
 11 15 the fiscal impact for the first two years following
 11 16 enactment and the anticipated impact for the
 11 17 succeeding three years.  The fiscal note shall specify
 11 18 the source of the information.  Sources of funds for
 11 19 expenditures under the bill shall be stated, including
 11 20 federal funds.  If the fiscal director cannot make an
 11 21 accurate estimate, the director shall state the best
 11 22 available estimate or shall state that no dollar
 11 23 estimate can be made and state concisely the reason.
 11 24    The preliminary determination of whether the bill
 11 25 appears to require a fiscal note shall be made by the
 11 26 legislative service bureau which shall send a copy of
 11 27 the request to the legislative fiscal bureau unless
 11 28 the requestor specifies the request is to be
 11 29 confidential.  Upon completion of the bill draft, the
 11 30 legislative service bureau shall immediately send a
 12  1 copy to the legislative fiscal director for review.
 12  2    When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the
 12  3 committee shall state in the report whether a fiscal
 12  4 note is or is not required.
 12  5    The legislative fiscal director shall review all
 12  6 bills placed on the senate or house calendars to
 12  7 determine whether the bills are subject to this rule.
 12  8    Additionally, a legislator may request the
 12  9 preparation of a fiscal note by legislative fiscal
 12 10 bureau for any bill or joint resolution introduced
 12 11 which reasonably could be subject to this rule.
 12 12    The legislative fiscal director shall cause to be
 12 13 prepared and shall approve a fiscal note within a
 12 14 reasonable time after receiving a request or
 12 15 determining that a bill is subject to this rule.  All
 12 16 fiscal notes approved by the legislative fiscal bureau
 12 17 director shall be transmitted immediately to the
 12 18 secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the
 12 19 house, after notifying the sponsor of the bill that a
 12 20 fiscal note has been prepared, for publication in the
 12 21 daily clip sheet.  The secretary of the senate or
 12 22 chief clerk of the house shall attach the fiscal note
 12 23 to the bill as soon as it is available.
 12 24    The legislative fiscal director may request the
 12 25 cooperation of any state department or agency in
 12 26 preparing a fiscal note.
 12 27    A revised fiscal note may be requested by a
 12 28 legislator if the fiscal effect of the bill has been
 12 29 changed by adoption of an amendment.  However, a
 12 30 request for a revised fiscal note shall not delay
 13  1 action on a bill unless so ordered by the presiding
 13  2 officer of the house in which the bill is under
 13  3 consideration.
 13  4    If a date for adjournment has been set, then a
 13  5 constitutional majority of the house in which the bill
 13  6 is under consideration may waive the fiscal note
 13  7 requirement during the three days prior to the date
 13  8 set for adjournment.  
 13  9                         Rule 18
 13 10                   Legislative Interns
 13 11    Legislators may arrange student internships during
 13 12 the legislative session with Iowa college, university,
 13 13 or law school students, for which the students may
 13 14 receive college credit at the discretion of their
 13 15 schools.  Each legislator is allowed only one intern
 13 16 at a time per legislative session, and all interns
 13 17 must be registered with the offices of the secretary
 13 18 of the senate and the chief clerk of the house.
 13 19    The purpose of the legislative intern program shall
 13 20 be:  1) to provide useful staff services to
 13 21 legislators not otherwise provided by the general
 13 22 assembly; 2) to give interested college, graduate, and
 13 23 law school students practical experience in the
 13 24 legislative process as well as providing a meaningful
 13 25 educational experience; and 3) to enrich the
 13 26 curriculum of participating colleges and universities.
 13 27    The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of
 13 28 the house or their designees shall have the following
 13 29 responsibilities as regards the legislative intern
 13 30 program:
 14  1    1.  Identify a supervising faculty member at each
 14  2 participating institution who shall be responsible for
 14  3 authorizing students to participate in the intern
 14  4 program.
 14  5    2.  Provide legislators with a list of
 14  6 participating institutions and the names of
 14  7 supervising professors to contact if interested in
 14  8 arranging for an intern.
 14  9    3.  Provide interns with name badges which will
 14 10 allow them access to the floor of either house when
 14 11 required to be present by the legislators for whom
 14 12 they work.
 14 13    4.  Provide orientation materials to interns prior
 14 14 to the convening of each session.  
 14 15                         Rule 19
 14 16       Administrative Rules Review Committee Bills
 14 17    A bill which relates to departmental rules and
 14 18 which is approved by the administrative rules review
 14 19 committee by a majority of the committee's members of
 14 20 each house is eligible for introduction in either
 14 21 house at any time and must be referred to a standing
 14 22 committee, which must take action on the bill within
 14 23 three weeks of referral, except bills referred to
 14 24 appropriations and ways and means committees.  
 14 25                         Rule 20
 14 26  Time of Committee Passage and Consideration of Bills
 14 27    1.  This rule does not apply to concurrent or
 14 28 simple resolutions, joint resolutions nullifying
 14 29 administrative rules, senate confirmations, or bills
 14 30 passed by both houses in different forms.  Subsection
 15  1 2 of this rule does not apply to appropriations bills,
 15  2 ways and means bills, legalizing acts, administrative
 15  3 rules review committee bills, bills cosponsored by
 15  4 majority and minority floor leaders of one house,
 15  5 bills in conference committee, and companion bills
 15  6 sponsored by the majority floor leaders of both houses
 15  7 after consultation with the respective minority floor
 15  8 leaders.  For the purposes of this rule, a joint
 15  9 resolution is considered as a bill.  To be considered
 15 10 an appropriations or ways and means bill for the
 15 11 purposes of this rule, the appropriations committee or
 15 12 the ways and means committee must either be the
 15 13 sponsor of the bill or the committee of first referral
 15 14 in the originating house.
 15 15    2.  To be placed on the calendar in the house of
 15 16 origin, a bill must be first reported out of the
 15 17 committee of first referral by Friday of the 10th week
 15 18 of the first session and the 8th week of the second
 15 19 session.  To be placed on the calendar in the other
 15 20 house, a bill must be first reported out of the
 15 21 committee of first referral by Friday of the 13th week
 15 22 of the first session and the 11th week of the second
 15 23 session.
 15 24    3.  During the 11th week of the first session and
 15 25 the 9th week of the second session, each house shall
 15 26 consider only bills originating in that house and
 15 27 unfinished business.  During the 14th week of the
 15 28 first session and the 12th week of the second session,
 15 29 each house shall consider only bills originating in
 15 30 the other house and unfinished business.  Beginning
 16  1 with the 15th week of the first session and the 13th
 16  2 week of the second session, each house shall consider
 16  3 only bills passed by both houses, bills exempt from
 16  4 subsection 2 and unfinished business.
 16  5    4.  A motion to reconsider filed and not disposed
 16  6 of on an action taken on a bill or resolution which is
 16  7 subject to a deadline under this rule may be called up
 16  8 at any time before or after the day of the deadline by
 16  9 the person filing the motion or after the deadline by
 16 10 the majority floor leader, notwithstanding any other
 16 11 rule to the contrary.  
 16 12                         Rule 21
 16 13                       Resolutions
 16 14    1.  A "concurrent resolution" is a resolution to be
 16 15 adopted by both houses of the general assembly which
 16 16 expresses the sentiment of the general assembly or
 16 17 deals with temporary legislative matters.  It may
 16 18 authorize the expenditure, for any legislative
 16 19 purpose, of funds appropriated to the general
 16 20 assembly.  A concurrent resolution is not limited to,
 16 21 but may provide for a joint convention of the general
 16 22 assembly, adjournment or recess of the general
 16 23 assembly, or requests to a state agency or to the
 16 24 general assembly or a committee.  A concurrent
 16 25 resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority
 16 26 of the senators or representatives present and voting
 16 27 unless otherwise specified by statute.  A concurrent
 16 28 resolution does not require the governor's approval
 16 29 unless otherwise specified by statute.  A concurrent
 16 30 resolution shall be filed with the secretary of the
 17  1 senate or the chief clerk of the house.  A concurrent
 17  2 resolution shall be printed in the bound journal after
 17  3 its adoption.
 17  4    2.  A "joint resolution" is a resolution which
 17  5 requires for approval the affirmative vote of a
 17  6 constitutional majority of each house of the general
 17  7 assembly.  A joint resolution which appropriates funds
 17  8 or enacts temporary laws must contain the clause "Be
 17  9 It Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of
 17 10 Iowa:", is equivalent to a bill, and must be
 17 11 transmitted to the governor for his approval.  A joint
 17 12 resolution which proposes amendments to the
 17 13 Constitution of the State of Iowa, ratifies amendments
 17 14 to the Constitution of the United States, proposes a
 17 15 request to Congress or an agency of the government of
 17 16 the United States of America, proposes to Congress an
 17 17 amendment to the Constitution of the United States of
 17 18 America, nullifies an administrative rule, or creates
 17 19 a special commission or committee must contain the
 17 20 clause "Be It Resolved by the General Assembly of the
 17 21 State of Iowa:" and shall not be transmitted to the
 17 22 governor.  A joint resolution shall not amend a
 17 23 statute in the Code of Iowa.  
 17 24                         Rule 22
 17 25                Nullification Resolutions
 17 26    A "nullification resolution" is a joint resolution
 17 27 which nullifies all of an administrative rule, or a
 17 28 severable item of an administrative rule adopted
 17 29 pursuant to chapter 17A of the Code.  A nullification
 17 30 resolution shall not amend an administrative rule by
 18  1 adding language or by inserting new language in lieu
 18  2 of existing language.
 18  3    A nullification resolution is debatable, but cannot
 18  4 be amended on the floor of the house or senate.  The
 18  5 effective date of a nullification resolution shall be
 18  6 stated in the resolution.  Any motions filed to
 18  7 reconsider adoption of a nullification resolution must
 18  8 be disposed of within one legislative day of the
 18  9 filing.  
 18 10                         Rule 23
 18 11                 Consideration of Vetoes
 18 12    1.  The senate and house calendar shall include a
 18 13 list known as the "Veto Calendar."  The veto calendar
 18 14 shall consist of:
 18 15    a.  Bills returned to that house by the governor in
 18 16 accordance with Article III, section 16 of the
 18 17 Constitution of the State of Iowa.
 18 18    b.  Appropriations items returned to that house by
 18 19 the governor in accordance with Article III, section
 18 20 16 of the Constitution of the State of Iowa.
 18 21    c.  Bills and appropriations items received from
 18 22 the other house after that house has voted to override
 18 23 a veto of them by the governor.
 18 24    2.  Vetoed bills and appropriations items shall
 18 25 automatically be placed on the veto calendar upon
 18 26 receipt.  Vetoed bills and appropriations items shall
 18 27 not be referred to committee.
 18 28    3.  Upon first publication in the veto calendar,
 18 29 the senate majority leader or the house majority
 18 30 leader may call up a vetoed bill or appropriations
 19  1 item at any time.
 19  2    4.  The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
 19  3 members of the body by record roll call is required on
 19  4 a motion to override an executive veto or item veto.
 19  5    5.  A motion to override an executive veto or item
 19  6 veto is debatable.  A vetoed bill or appropriation
 19  7 item cannot be amended in this case.
 19  8    6.  The vote by which a motion to override an
 19  9 executive veto or item veto passes or fails to pass
 19 10 either house is not subject to reconsideration under
 19 11 senate rule 24 or house rule 73.
 19 12    7.  The secretary of the senate or the chief clerk
 19 13 of the house shall immediately notify the other house
 19 14 of the adoption or rejection of a motion to override
 19 15 an executive veto or item veto.
 19 16    8.  All bills and appropriations items on the veto
 19 17 calendar shall be disposed of before adjournment sine
 19 18 die, unless the house having a bill or appropriation
 19 19 item before it declines to do so by unanimous consent.
 19 20    9.  Bills and appropriations items on the veto
 19 21 calendar are exempt from deadlines imposed by joint
 19 22 rule 20.  
 19 23                         Rule 24
 19 24                    General Assembly
 19 25                         Budget
 19 26    The senate and the house shall each adopt by
 19 27 resolution a budget for the payment of expenses,
 19 28 salaries, per diem, and other items.  Subsequent to
 19 29 approval by the legislative  council pursuant to
 19 30 section 2.12, the senate and the house shall adopt by
 20  1 concurrent resolution a budget for the central
 20  2 legislative staff agencies.  
 20  3                         Rule 25
 20  4                         Smoking
 20  5    Smoking shall not be permitted in any areas of the
 20  6 capitol building controlled jointly by the senate and
 20  7 the house.  However, one house may designate smoking
 20  8 areas within areas of the capitol building controlled
 20  9 exclusively by that house.
