 1  the journal.  If objections are filed, they shall be
 2  disposed of as soon as possible.  Reports recommending
 3  indefinite postponement shall be governed by Rule 44.
 4     Upon an affirmative vote of at least a
 5  constitutional majority of the members, a report may

 9       Consideration of Conference Committee Reports
10     A conference committee report shall not be acted
11  upon by the house of representatives unless the report
12  contains only issues related to provisions of the bill
13  and amendments to the bill which were adopted by
14  either the senate or the house of representatives and
15  on which the senate and house of representatives
16  differed.  If a conference committee report is not
17  acted upon because such action would violate this
18  rule, the inaction on the report shall constitute
19  refusal of the house of representatives to adopt the
20  conference committee report and shall have the same
21  effect as if the conference committee had disagreed.

 3     Legalizing bills of a local or private nature shall
 4  be printed in bill form and placed in the files of the
 5  members, the same as other bills, in the order of
 6  their introduction.  The cost of printing shall be
 7  deposited with the treasurer of state in advance at a
 8  rate to be fixed, and the newspaper publication of the
 9  bill shall be without cost to the state.  No
10  legalizing act may be introduced until all provisions
11  of law have been complied with.
12                          Rule 42
