10  rules review committee, and may be referred to a
11  standing committee.
12     A nullification resolution is debatable, but cannot
13  be amended on the floor of the house.

21  bills passed by both houses, bills exempt from
22  subsection 2 and unfinished business.
23     4.  A motion to reconsider filed and not disposed
24  of on an action taken on a bill or resolution which is
25  subject to a deadline under this rule may be called up
26  at any time before or after the day of the deadline by
27  the person filing the motion or after the deadline by

14  matter more properly within the jurisdiction of some
15  other standing committee, in which case the speaker
16  shall refer the bill to the proper standing committee.
17  In order to expedite important business and set a
18  definite time for the bill's consideration, the
19  speaker may direct the bill to be placed on the
20  special order calendar.
21     31.8.  No amendment to the rules of the house, to
22  any resolution or bill, except technical amendments
23  and amendments to bills substituted for by senate
24  files containing substantially identical title,
25  language, subject matter, purpose and intrasectional

day.
16     Adoption of a motion to strike the enacting words is

23  An amendment which inserts language after a line and
24  an amendment which inserts language before the
25  succeeding line shall be considered amendments to the

29  by a committee shall have the next highest order of
30  priority, followed by an amendment to strike

    Page  35

 1  everything after the enacting clause and insert new
 2  language.  An amendment to strike language or to
 3  strike and insert new language, except an amendment to
 4  strike everything after the enacting clause and insert
 5  new language, shall not be considered before
 6  amendments to perfect all or part of the same portion
 7  of the bill.
 8                          Rule 69
 9                   Motions Not Debatable
10     The motions to lay on the table, to adjourn, to
11  adjourn to a time certain, for the previous question,
12  to defer, to rerefer, and appeals of a ruling of the
13  presiding officer shall be decided without debate.
14                          Rule 70
15                     Motion to Adjourn
16     A motion to adjourn shall always be in order,
17  except when a member is speaking or the house is
18  voting.
19                          Rule 71
20                   Withdrawal of Motions
21     After a motion is stated by the speaker, or read by
22  the chief clerk, it shall be deemed to be in

29                          Rule 73
30                      Reconsideration

    Page  36

 1     a.  A motion to reconsider may be made only by a
 2  member who voted on the prevailing side of the
 3  question sought to be reconsidered.
 4     b.  A motion to reconsider may be made not later
 5  than adjournment on the day following the day of the
 6  action sought to be reconsidered.  Where the floor
 7  manager voted on the prevailing side, the floor
 8  manager has the prior right to make the motion, until
 9  adjournment on the day of the action sought to be
10  reconsidered.  A motion to reconsider a nullification
11  resolution shall be acted upon not later than
12  adjournment on the legislative day following the day
13  of the action sought to be reconsidered.
14     c.  A motion to reconsider made following the one
15  hundred fourth ninety-seventh calendar day of the
16  first regular session, or the ninety-fourth eighty-
17  seventh calendar day of the second regular session,
18  shall may be taken up when made.  A motion made at
any
19  other time may be taken up prior to the third day
20  succeeding the day of the action sought to be
21  reconsidered only if called up by the mover, and after
22  the second day succeeding the day of the action sought
23  to be reconsidered if called up by any member.
24     d.  The making of a motion to reconsider takes
25  precedence over all other questions.
26     e.  No motion to reconsider passage, adoption or
27  failure of any bill, nullification resolution or joint
28  resolution shall prevail unless it obtains a
29  constitutional majority.  When passage, adoption or
30  failure is reconsidered, questions on amendments may

    Page  37

 1  also be reconsidered and shall be disposed of
 2  immediately.
 3     f.  A motion that the motion to reconsider be laid
 4  on the table is in order.  The effect of laying the
 5  motion to reconsider on the table is to cause the bill
 6  or joint resolution to proceed on its regular course
 7  immediately.
 8     g.  In the event that a motion to reconsider is
 9  pending at the end of the first session or any
10  extraordinary session of any general assembly, or the
11  general assembly adjourns sine die, and the motion to
12  reconsider has not been voted upon by the house, the
13  motion shall be determined to have failed.

29  bills or resolutions.
30     A call of the house shall specify the propositions

    Page  39

 1  to which it is to apply, and must be put into effect
 2  before roll call is taken on the proposition.  The
 3  request may be filed at any time before final action
 4  upon the propositions with the chief clerk, who shall

27  officer shall be called last.
28     During the casting of the vote with the voting
29  machine, the individual votes and the vote totals
30  shall be shown on the display boards.  Before the

19  is not adopted, the house shall proceed in the same
20  manner as before the motion was made.
21     If the motion is adopted, all debate must end and
22  the house will vote upon the question except:
23     1.  If the motion applies to the main question, the
24  member in charge of the measure will have ten minutes
25  to speak for the purpose of closing discussion before

12  which shall be divided if it comprehends questions so
13  distinct that one being taken away, the remainder may
14  stand separately for discussion by the house.  A
15  motion to strike out being lost shall not preclude
16  either an amendment or a motion to strike out and
17  insert.  A motion to strike out and insert shall be
18  deemed indivisible.
The motion prevailed and the resolution was adopted.

 7  or after rereferral to the committee, shall not be
 8  incorporated into the bill in the originating house
 9  but shall be filed separately.  Amendments filed from

25  of the house.  Such committee amendments, whether
26  filed at the time of initial committee passage of the
27  bill to the floor for debate or after rereferral to
28  the committee, shall not be incorporated into the bill
29  in the originating house but shall be filed

12                          Rule 12
13                 Amendments by Other House
14     I.  When a bill which originated in one house is
15  amended in the other house, the house originating the
16  bill may amend the amendment, concur in full in the
17  amendment, or refuse to concur in full in the
18  amendment.  Precedence of motions shall be in that
19  order.  The amendment of the other house shall not be
20  ruled out of order based on a question of germaneness.
21  Precedence of motions shall be in that order.
22     A.  If the house originating the bill concurs in
23  the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately
24  placed upon its final passage.
25     B.  If the house originating the bill refuses to
26  concur in the amendment, the bill shall be returned to
27  the amending house which shall either:
28     1.  Recede, after which the bill shall be read for
29  the last time and immediately placed upon its final
30  passage; or

    Page 7

 1     2.  Insist, which will send the bill to a
 2  conference committee.
 3     C.  If the house originating the bill amends the
 4  amendment, that house shall concur in the amendment as
 5  amended and the bill shall be immediately placed on
 6  final passage, and shall be returned to the other
 7  house.  The other house cannot further amend the bill.
 8     1.  If the amending house which gave second
 9  consideration to the bill concurs in the amendment to
10  the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately
11  placed upon its final passage.
12     2.  If the amending house refuses to concur in the
13  amendment to the amendment, the bill shall be returned
14  to the house originating the bill which shall either:
15     a.  Recede, after which the bill shall be read for
16  the last time as amended and immediately placed upon
17  its final passage; or
18     b.  Insist, which will send the bill to a
19  conference committee.
20     II.  A motion to recede has precedence over a
21  motion to insist.  Failure to recede means to insist;
22  and failure to insist means to recede.
23     III.  A motion to lay on the table or to
24  indefinitely postpone shall be out of order with
25  respect to motions to recede from or insist upon and
26  to amendments to bills which have passed both houses.
27     IV.  A motion to concur, refuse to concur, recede,
28  insist, or adopt a conference committee report is in
29  order even though the subject matter has previously
30  been acted upon.

 1                          Rule 13
 2                   Conference Committee
 3     1.  Within one legislative day after either house
 4  insists upon an amendment to a bill, the presiding
 5  officer of the house, after consultation with the
 6  majority leader, shall appoint three majority party
 7  members and, after consultation with the minority
 8  leader, shall appoint two minority party members to a
 9  conference committee.  The majority leader of the
10  senate, after consultation with the president, shall
11  appoint three majority party members and, after
12  consultation with and approval by the minority leader,
13  shall appoint two minority party members to a
14  conference committee.  The papers shall remain with
15  the house that originated the bill.
16     2.  The conference committee shall meet before the
17  end of the next legislative day after their
18  appointment, shall select a chair and shall discuss
19  the controversy.
20     3.  The authority of the first conference committee
21  shall cover free conference during which the committee
22  has authority to propose amendments to any portion of
23  a bill provided the amendment is within the scope of
24  the title of the bill as passed by the house of origin
25  or amended by the second house only issues related to
26  provisions of the bill and amendments to the bill
27  which were adopted by either the senate or the house
28  of representatives and on which the senate and house
29  of representatives differed.  If a conference
30  committee report is not acted upon because such action

    Page 9

 1  would violate this subsection of this rule, the
 2  inaction on the report shall constitute refusal to
 3  adopt the conference committee report and shall have
 4  the same effect as if the conference committee had
 5  disagreed.
 6     4.  An agreement on recommendations must be
 7  approved by at least three members from each house.
 8  The committee shall submit two originals of the report
 9  signed by at least three members of each house with
10  one signed original and three copies to be submitted
11  to each house.  The report shall first be acted upon
12  in the house originating the bill.  Such action,
13  including all papers, shall be immediately referred by
14  the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the
15  house of representatives to the other house.
16     5.  The report of agreement is debatable, but
17  cannot be amended.  If the report contains recommended
18  amendments to the bill, adoption of the report shall
19  automatically adopt all amendments contained therein.
20  After the report is adopted, there shall be no more
21  debate, and the bill shall immediately be placed upon
22  its final passage.
23     6.  Refusal of either house to adopt the conference
24  committee report has the same effect as if the
25  committee had disagreed.
26     7.  If the conference committee fails to reach
27  agreement, a report of such failure signed by at least
28  three members of each house shall be given promptly to
29  each house.  The bill shall be returned to the house
30  that originated the bill, the members of the committee

    Page 10

 1  shall be immediately discharged, and a new conference
 2  committee appointed in the same manner as the first
 3  conference committee.
 4     8.  The authority of a second or subsequent
 5  conference committee shall cover free conference
 6  during which the committee has authority to propose
 7  amendments to any portion of a bill provided the
 8  amendment is within the subject matter content of the
 9  bill as passed by the house of origin or as amended by
10  the second house.
11                          Rule 14
12          Enrollment and Authentication of Bills
13     A bill or resolution which has passed both houses
14  shall be enrolled in the house of origin under the
15  direction of either the secretary or the chief clerk
16  and its house of origin shall be certified by the
17  endorsement of the secretary of the senate or the
18  chief clerk of the house.
19     After enrollment, each bill shall be signed by the
20  president of the senate and by the speaker of the
21  house.
22                          Rule 15
23               Concerning other Enrollments
24     All resolutions and other matters which are to be
25  presented to the governor for approval shall be
26  enrolled, signed, and presented in the same manner as
27  bills.
28     All resolutions and other matters which are not to
29  be presented to the governor or the secretary of state
30  shall be enrolled, signed, and retained  permanently by
    Page  11

 1  the secretary of the senate or chief clerk of the
 2  house.
 3                          Rule 16
 4           Transmission of Bills to the Governor
 5     After a bill has been signed in each house, it
 6  shall be presented by the house of origin to the
 7  governor by either the secretary of the senate or the
 8  chief clerk of the house of origin.  The secretary or
 9  the chief clerk shall report the date of the
10  presentation, which shall be entered upon the journal
11  of the house of origin.
12                          Rule 17
13                       Fiscal Notes
14     A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or
15  joint resolution which reasonably could have an annual
16  effect of at least one hundred thousand dollars or a
17  combined total effect within five years after
18  enactment of five hundred thousand dollars or more on
19  the aggregate revenues, expenditures, or fiscal
20  liability of the state or its subdivisions.  This rule
21  does not apply to appropriation and ways and means
22  measures where the total effect is stated in dollar
23  amounts.
24     Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the
25  estimated effect of the bill on the revenues,
26  expenditures, and fiscal liability of the state or its
27  subdivisions during the first five years after
28  enactment.  The information shall specifically note
29  the fiscal impact for the first two years following
30  enactment and the anticipated impact for the

    Page 12

 1  succeeding three years.  The fiscal note shall specify
 2  the source of the information.  Sources of funds for
 3  expenditures under the bill shall be stated, including
 4  federal funds.  If the fiscal director cannot make an
 5  accurate estimate, the director shall state the best
 6  available estimate or shall state that no dollar
 7  estimate can be made and state concisely the reason.
 8     The preliminary determination of whether the bill
 9  appears to require a fiscal note shall be made by the
10  legislative service bureau which shall send a copy of
11  the request to the legislative fiscal bureau unless
12  the requestor specifies the request is to be
13  confidential.  Upon completion of the bill draft, the
14  legislative service bureau shall immediately send a
15  copy to the legislative fiscal director for review.
16     When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the
17  committee shall state in the report whether a fiscal
18  note is or is not required.
19     The legislative fiscal director shall review all
20  bills placed on the senate or house calendars to
21  determine whether the bills are subject to this rule.
22     Additionally, a legislator may request the
23  preparation of a fiscal note by the legislative fiscal
24  bureau for any bill or joint resolution introduced
25  which reasonably could be subject to this rule.
26     The legislative fiscal director shall cause to be
27  prepared and shall approve a fiscal note within a
28  reasonable time after receiving a request or
29  determining that a bill is subject to this rule.  All
30  fiscal notes approved by the legislative fiscal bureau

    Page  13

 1  director shall be transmitted immediately to the
 2  secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the
 3  house, after notifying the sponsor of the bill that a
 4  fiscal note has been prepared, for publication in the
 5  daily clip sheet.  The secretary of the senate or
 6  chief clerk of the house shall attach the fiscal note
 7  to the bill as soon as it is available.
 8     The legislative fiscal director may request the
 9  cooperation of any state department or agency in
10  preparing a fiscal note.
11     A revised fiscal note may be requested by a
12  legislator if the fiscal effect of the bill has been
13  changed by adoption of an amendment.  However, a
14  request for a revised fiscal note shall not delay
15  action on a bill unless so ordered by the presiding
16  officer of the house in which the bill is under
17  consideration.
18     If a date for adjournment has been set, then a
19  constitutional majority of the house in which the bill
20  is under consideration may waive the fiscal note
21  requirement during the three days prior to the date
22  set for adjournment.
23                          Rule 18
24                    Legislative Interns

30  at a time per legislative session, and all interns

    Page14

 1  must be registered with the offices of the secretary
 2  of the senate and the chief clerk of the house.
 3     The purpose of the legislative intern program shall
 4  be:  1) to provide useful staff services to
 5  legislators not otherwise provided by the general
 6  assembly; 2) to give interested college, graduate, and
 7  law school students practical experience in the
 8  legislative process as well as providing a meaningful
 9  educational experience; and 3) to enrich the
10  curriculum of participating colleges and universities.
11     The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of
12  the house or their designees shall have the following
13  responsibilities as regards the legislative intern
14  program:
15     1.  Identify a supervising faculty member at each
16  participating institution who shall be responsible for
17  authorizing students to participate in the intern
18  program.
19     2.  Provide legislators with a list of
20  participating institutions and the names of
21  supervising professors to contact if interested in
22  arranging for an intern.
23     3.  Provide interns with name badges which will
24  allow them access to the floor of either house when
25  required to be present by the legislators for whom
26  they work.
27     4.  Provide orientation materials to interns prior
28  to the convening of each session.

 4  each house is eligible for introduction in either
 5  house at any time and must be referred to a standing
 6  committee, which must take action on the bill within

24  respective minority floor leaders.  For the purposes
25  of this rule, a joint resolution is considered as a
26  bill.  To be considered an appropriations or ways and
27  means bill for the purposes of this rule, the
28  appropriations committee or the ways and means
29  committee must either be the sponsor of the bill or

 3  adopted by both houses of the general assembly which
 4  expresses the sentiment of the general assembly or
 5  deals with temporary legislative matters.  It may
 6  authorize the expenditure, for any legislative
 7  purpose, of funds appropriated to the general
 8  assembly.  a concurrent resolution is not limited to,
 9  but may provide for a joint convention of the general

14  of the senators or representatives present and voting
15  unless otherwise specified by statute.  A concurrent
16  resolution does not require the governor's approval
17  unless otherwise specified by statute.  A concurrent
18  resolution shall be filed with the secretary of the

23  requires for approval the affirmative vote of a
24  constitutional majority of each house of the general
25  assembly.  a joint resolution which appropriates funds
26  or enacts temporary laws must contain the clause "Be
27  It Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of
28  Iowa:", is equivalent to a bill, and must be
29  transmitted to the governor for his approval.  A joint
30  resolution which proposes amendments to the

    Page 18

 3  request to Congress or an agency of the government of
 4  the United States of America, proposes to Congress an
 5  amendment to the Constitution of the United States of
 6  America, nullifies an administrative rule, or creates
 7  a special commission or committee must contain the

18  resolution shall not amend an administrative rule by
19  adding language or by inserting new language in lieu
20  of existing language.
21     A nullification resolution is debatable, but cannot
22  be amended on the floor of the house or senate.  The
23  effective date of a nullification resolution shall be
24  stated in the resolution.  Any motions filed to
25  reconsider adoption of a nullification resolution must
26  be disposed of within one legislative day of the
27  filing.

 4  accordance with Article III, section 16 of the
 5  Constitution of the State of Iowa.
 6     b.  Appropriations items returned to that house by
 7  the governor in accordance with Article III, section

19  item at any time.
20     4.  The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
21  members of the body by record roll call is required on
22  a motion to override an executive veto or item veto.
23     5.  A motion to override an executive veto or item
24  veto is debatable.  A vetoed bill or appropriation
