If a conference 8 30 committee report is not acted upon because such action 9 1 would violate this subsection of this rule, the 9 2 inaction on the report shall constitute refusal to 9 3 adopt the conference committee report and shall have 9 4 the same effect as if the conference committee had 9 5 disagreed. 9 6 4.

However, a 13 14 request for a revised fiscal note shall not delay 13 15 action on a bill unless so ordered by the presiding 13 16 officer of the house in which the bill is under 13 17 consideration. 13 18 If a date for adjournment has been set, then a 13 19 constitutional majority of the house in which the bill 13 20 is under consideration may waive the fiscal note 13 21 requirement during the three days prior to the date 13 22 set for adjournment. 13 23 Rule 18 13 24 Legislative Interns 13 25 Legislators may arrange student internships during 13 26 the legislative session with Iowa college, university, 13 27 or law school students, for which the students may 13 28 receive college credit at the discretion of their 13 29 schools.

The vote by which a motion to override an 19 27 executive veto or item veto passes or fails to pass 19 28 either house is not subject to reconsideration under 19 29 senate rule 24 or house rule 73. 19 30 7. The secretary of the senate or the chief clerk 20 1 of the house shall immediately notify the other house 20 2 of the adoption or rejection of a motion to override 20 3 an executive veto or item veto. 20 4 8.
