When a bill which originated in one house is 6 19 amended in the other house, the house originating the 6 20 bill may amend the amendment, concur in full in the 6 21 amendment, or refuse to concur in full in the 6 22 amendment. Precedence of motions shall be in that 6 23 order. The amendment of the other house shall not be 6 24 ruled out of order based on a question of germaneness. 6 25 a. If the house originating the bill concurs in 6 26 the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately 6 27 placed upon its final passage. 6 28 b. If the house originating the bill refuses to 6 29 concur in the amendment, the bill shall be returned to 6 30 the amending house which shall either: 7 1 (1) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for 7 2 the last time and immediately placed upon its final 7 3 passage; or 7 4 (2) Insist, which will send the bill to a 7 5 conference committee. 7 6 c. If the house originating the bill amends the 7 7 amendment, that house shall concur in the amendment as 7 8 amended and the bill shall be immediately placed on 7 9 final passage, and shall be returned to the other 7 10 house. The other house cannot further amend the bill. 7 11 (1) If the amending house which gave second 7 12 consideration to the bill concurs in the amendment to 7 13 the amendment, the bill shall then be immediately 7 14 placed upon its final passage. 7 15 (2) If the amending house refuses to concur in the 7 16 amendment to the amendment, the bill shall be returned 7 17 to the house originating the bill which shall either: 7 18 (a) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for 7 19 the last time as amended and immediately placed upon 7 20 its final passage; or 7 21 (b) Insist, which will send the bill to a 7 22 conference committee. 7 23 2. A motion to recede has precedence over a motion 7 24 to insist. Failure to recede means to insist; and 7 25 failure to insist means to recede. 7 26 3. A motion to lay on the table or to indefinitely 7 27 postpone shall be out of order with respect to motions 7 28 to recede from or insist upon and to amendments to 7 29 bills which have passed both houses. 7 30 4. A motion to concur, refuse to concur, recede, 8 1 insist, or adopt a conference committee report is in 8 2 order even though the subject matter has previously 8 3 been acted upon. 8 4 Rule 13 8 5 Conference Committee 8 6 1. Within one legislative day after either house 8 7 insists upon an amendment to a bill, the presiding 8 8 officer of the house, after consultation with the 8 9 majority leader, shall appoint three majority party 8 10 members and, after consultation with the minority 8 11 leader, shall appoint two minority party members to a 8 12 conference committee. The majority leader of the 8 13 senate, after consultation with the president, shall 8 14 appoint three majority party members and, after 8 15 consultation with and approval by the minority leader, 8 16 shall appoint two minority party members to a 8 17 conference committee. The papers shall remain with 8 18 the house that originated the bill. 8 19 2. The conference committee shall meet before the 8 20 end of the next legislative day after their 8 21 appointment, shall select a chair and shall discuss 8 22 the controversy. 8 23 3. The authority of the first conference committee 8 24 shall cover only issues related to provisions of the 8 25 bill and amendments to the bill which were adopted by 8 26 either the senate or the house of representatives and 8 27 on which the senate and house of representatives 8 28 differed. If a conference committee report is not 8 29 acted upon because such action would violate this 8 30 subsection of this rule, the inaction on the report 9 1 shall constitute refusal to adopt the conference 9 2 committee report and shall have the same effect as if 9 3 the conference committee had disagreed. 9 4 4. An agreement on recommendations must be 9 5 approved by at least three members from each house. 9 6 The committee shall submit two originals of the report 9 7 signed by at least three members of each house with 9 8 one signed original and three copies to be submitted 9 9 to each house. The report shall first be acted upon 9 10 in the house originating the bill. Such action, 9 11 including all papers, shall be immediately referred by 9 12 the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the 9 13 house of representatives to the other house. 9 14 5. The report of agreement is debatable, but 9 15 cannot be amended. If the report contains recommended 9 16 amendments to the bill, adoption of the report shall 9 17 automatically adopt all amendments contained therein. 9 18 After the report is adopted, there shall be no more 9 19 debate, and the bill shall immediately be placed upon 9 20 its final passage. 9 21 6. Refusal of either house to adopt the conference 9 22 committee report has the same effect as if the 9 23 committee had disagreed. 9 24 7. If the conference committee fails to reach 9 25 agreement, a report of such failure signed by at least 9 26 three members of each house shall be given promptly to 9 27 each house. The bill shall be returned to the house 9 28 that originated the bill, the members of the committee 9 29 shall be immediately discharged, and a new conference 9 30 committee appointed in the same manner as the first 10 1 conference committee. 10 2 8. The authority of a second or subsequent 10 3 conference committee shall cover free conference 10 4 during which the committee has authority to propose 10 5 amendments to any portion of a bill provided the 10 6 amendment is within the subject matter content of the 10 7 bill as passed by the house of origin or as amended by 10 8 the second house. 10 9 Rule 14 10 10 Enrollment and Authentication of Bills 10 11 A bill or resolution which has passed both houses 10 12 shall be enrolled in the house of origin under the 10 13 direction of either the secretary or the chief clerk 10 14 and its house of origin shall be certified by the 10 15 endorsement of the secretary of the senate or the 10 16 chief clerk of the house. 10 17 After enrollment, each bill shall be signed by the 10 18 president of the senate and by the speaker of the 10 19 house. 10 20 Rule 15 10 21 Concerning other Enrollments 10 22 All resolutions and other matters which are to be 10 23 presented to the governor for approval shall be 10 24 enrolled, signed, and presented in the same manner as 10 25 bills. 10 26 All resolutions and other matters which are not to 10 27 be presented to the governor or the secretary of state 10 28 shall be enrolled, signed, and retained permanently by 10 29 the secretary of the senate or chief clerk of the 10 30 house. 11 1 Rule 16 11 2 Transmission of Bills to the Governor 11 3 After a bill has been signed in each house, it 11 4 shall be presented by the house of origin to the 11 5 governor by either the secretary of the senate or the 11 6 chief clerk of the house. The secretary or the chief 11 7 clerk shall report the date of the presentation, which 11 8 shall be entered upon the journal of the house of 11 9 origin. 11 10 Rule 17 11 11 Fiscal Notes 11 12 A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or 11 13 joint resolution which reasonably could have an annual 11 14 effect of at least one hundred thousand dollars or a 11 15 combined total effect within five years after 11 16 enactment of five hundred thousand dollars or more on 11 17 the aggregate revenues, expenditures, or fiscal 11 18 liability of the state or its subdivisions. This rule 11 19 does not apply to appropriation and ways and means 11 20 measures where the total effect is stated in dollar 11 21 amounts. 11 22 Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the 11 23 estimated effect of the bill on the revenues, 11 24 expenditures, and fiscal liability of the state or its 11 25 subdivisions during the first five years after 11 26 enactment. The information shall specifically note 11 27 the fiscal impact for the first two years following 11 28 enactment and the anticipated impact for the 11 29 succeeding three years. The fiscal note shall specify 11 30 the source of the information. Sources of funds for 12 1 expenditures under the bill shall be stated, including 12 2 federal funds. If the fiscal director cannot make an 12 3 accurate estimate, the director shall state the best 12 4 available estimate or shall state that no dollar 12 5 estimate can be made and state concisely the reason. 12 6 The preliminary determination of whether the bill 12 7 appears to require a fiscal note shall be made by the 12 8 legislative service bureau which shall send a copy of 12 9 the request to the legislative fiscal bureau unless 12 10 the requestor specifies the request is to be 12 11 confidential. Upon completion of the bill draft, the 12 12 legislative service bureau shall immediately send a 12 13 copy to the legislative fiscal director for review. 12 14 When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the 12 15 committee shall state in the report whether a fiscal 12 16 note is or is not required. 12 17 The legislative fiscal director shall review all 12 18 bills placed on the senate or house calendars to 12 19 determine whether the bills are subject to this rule. 12 20 Additionally, a legislator may request the 12 21 preparation of a fiscal note by the legislative fiscal 12 22 bureau for any bill or joint resolution introduced 12 23 which reasonably could be subject to this rule. 12 24 The legislative fiscal director shall cause to be 12 25 prepared and shall approve a fiscal note within a 12 26 reasonable time after receiving a request or 12 27 determining that a bill is subject to this rule. All 12 28 fiscal notes approved by the legislative fiscal bureau 12 29 director shall be transmitted immediately to the 12 30 secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the 13 1 house, after notifying the sponsor of the bill that a 13 2 fiscal note has been prepared, for publication in the 13 3 daily clip sheet. The secretary of the senate or 13 4 chief clerk of the house shall attach the fiscal note 13 5 to the bill as soon as it is available. 13 6 The legislative fiscal director may request the 13 7 cooperation of any state department or agency in 13 8 preparing a fiscal note. 13 9 A revised fiscal note may be requested by a 13 10 legislator if the fiscal effect of the bill has been 13 11 changed by adoption of an amendment. However, a 13 12 request for a revised fiscal note shall not delay 13 13 action on a bill unless so ordered by the presiding 13 14 officer of the house in which the bill is under 13 15 consideration. 13 16 If a date for adjournment has been set, then a 13 17 constitutional majority of the house in which the bill 13 18 is under consideration may waive the fiscal note 13 19 requirement during the three days prior to the date 13 20 set for adjournment. 13 21 Rule 18 13 22 Legislative Interns 13 23 Legislators may arrange student internships during 13 24 the legislative session with Iowa college, university, 13 25 or law school students, for which the students may 13 26 receive college credit at the discretion of their 13 27 schools. Each legislator is allowed only one intern 13 28 at a time per legislative session, and all interns 13 29 must be registered with the offices of the secretary 13 30 of the senate and the chief clerk of the house. 14 1 The purpose of the legislative intern program shall 14 2 be: to provide useful staff services to legislators 14 3 not otherwise provided by the general assembly; to 14 4 give interested college, graduate, and law school 14 5 students practical experience in the legislative 14 6 process as well as providing a meaningful educational 14 7 experience; and to enrich the curriculum of 14 8 participating colleges and universities. 14 9 The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of 14 10 the house or their designees shall have the following 14 11 responsibilities as regards the legislative intern 14 12 program: 14 13 1. Identify a supervising faculty member at each 14 14 participating institution who shall be responsible for 14 15 authorizing students to participate in the intern 14 16 program. 14 17 2. Provide legislators with a list of 14 18 participating institutions and the names of 14 19 supervising professors to contact if interested in 14 20 arranging for an intern. 14 21 3.

Provide orientation materials to interns prior 14 26 to the convening of each session. 14 27 Rule 19 14 28 Administrative Rules Review Committee Bills 14 29 and Rule Referrals 14 30 A bill which relates to departmental rules and 15 1 which is approved by the administrative rules review 15 2 committee by a majority of the committee's members of 15 3 each house is eligible for introduction in either 15 4 house at any time and must be referred to a standing 15 5 committee, which must take action on the bill within 15 6 three weeks of referral, except bills referred to 15 7 appropriations and ways and means committees. 15 8 If, on or after July 1, 1999, the administrative 15 9 rules review committee delays the effective date of a 15 10 rule until the adjournment of the next regular session 15 11 of the general assembly and the speaker of the house 15 12 or the president of the senate refers the rule to a 15 13 standing committee, the standing committee shall 15 14 review the rule within twenty-one days of the referral 15 15 and shall take formal committee action by sponsoring a 15 16 joint resolution to disapprove the rule, by proposing 15 17 legislation relating to the rule, or by refusing to 15 18 propose a joint resolution or legislation concerning 15 19 the rule. The standing committee shall inform the 15 20 administrative rules review committee of the committee 15 21 action taken concerning the rule. 15 22 Rule 20 15 23 Time of Committee Passage and Consideration of Bills 15 24 1. This rule does not apply to concurrent or 15 25 simple resolutions, joint resolutions nullifying 15 26 administrative rules, senate confirmations, bills 15 27 embodying redistricting plans prepared by the 15 28 legislative service bureau pursuant to chapter 42, or 15 29 bills passed by both houses in different forms. 15 30 Subsection 2 of this rule does not apply to 16 1 appropriations bills, ways and means bills, legalizing 16 2 acts, administrative rules review committee bills, 16 3 bills sponsored by standing committees in response to 16 4 a referral from the president of the senate or the 16 5 speaker of the house of representatives relating to an 16 6 administrative rule whose effective date has been 16 7 delayed until the adjournment of the next regular 16 8 session of the general assembly by the administrative 16 9 rules review committee, bills cosponsored by majority 16 10 and minority floor leaders of one house, bills in 16 11 conference committee, and companion bills sponsored by 16 12 the majority floor leaders of both houses after 16 13 consultation with the respective minority floor 16 14 leaders. For the purposes of this rule, a joint 16 15 resolution is considered as a bill. To be considered 16 16 an appropriations or ways and means bill for the 16 17 purposes of this rule, the appropriations committee or 16 18 the ways and means committee must either be the 16 19 sponsor of the bill or the committee of first referral 16 20 in the originating house. 16 21 2.

It may 17 25 authorize the expenditure, for any legislative 17 26 purpose, of funds appropriated to the general 17 27 assembly. A concurrent resolution is not limited to, 17 28 but may provide for a joint convention of the general 17 29 assembly, adjournment or recess of the general 17 30 assembly, or requests to a state agency or to the 18 1 general assembly or a committee.

The 19 12 effective date of a nullification resolution shall be 19 13 stated in the resolution. Any motions filed to 19 14 reconsider adoption of a nullification resolution must 19 15 be disposed of within one legislative day of the 19 16 filing. 19 17 Rule 23 19 18 Consideration of Vetoes 19 19 1.
