24     Prior to noon or adjournment, whichever is later,
25  on the last legislative day of the week, the majority
26  leader shall prepare a list of bills reported out of
27  committee that week which have not yet appeared on the
28  regular calendar.

    Page 23

 1  provided.  The reports shall be printed in the journal
 2  immediately after they are filed with the chief clerk.
 3  Reports recommending bills for passage, for amendment
 4  and passage, or without recommendation shall stand
 5  approved unless written objections are filed during
 6  the first legislative day following their printing in

15	Consideration of Conference Committee Reports
16     A conference committee report shall not be acted

21  on which the senate and house of representatives
22  differed.  If a conference committee report is not
23  acted upon because such action would violate this
