Such committee amendments, whether filed at the 4 16 time of initial committee passage of the bill to the floor for 4 17 debate or after rereferral to the committee, shall not be 4 18 incorporated into the bill in the originating house but shall 4 19 be filed separately. Amendments filed from the floor to 4 20 strike sections of the bill or the committee amendments shall 4 21 be in order. Following amendment and passage by the second 4 22 house, only amendments filed from the floor which strike 4 23 sections of the amendment of the second house shall be in 4 24 order. 4 25 A bill recommended by the Code editor which is passed out 4 26 of committee to the floor for debate by a committee of the 4 27 house or senate within the first four weeks of convening of a 4 28 legislative session and which contains Code corrections beyond 4 29 those of a nonsubstantive nature shall not be amended on the 4 30 floor of either house except pursuant to amendments filed by 4 31 the judiciary committee of the senate or the house. Such 4 32 committee amendments, whether filed at the time of initial 4 33 committee passage of the bill to the floor for debate or after 4 34 rereferral to the committee, shall not be incorporated into 4 35 the bill in the originating house but shall be filed 5 1 separately.

When a bill which originated in one house is amended in 5 14 the other house, the house originating the bill may amend the 5 15 amendment, concur in full in the amendment, or refuse to 5 16 concur in full in the amendment. Precedence of motions shall 5 17 be in that order. The amendment of the other house shall not 5 18 be ruled out of order based on a question of germaneness. 5 19 a. If the house originating the bill concurs in the 5 20 amendment, the bill shall then be immediately placed upon its 5 21 final passage. 5 22 b. If the house originating the bill refuses to concur in 5 23 the amendment, the bill shall be returned to the amending 5 24 house which shall either: 5 25 (1) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for the 5 26 last time and immediately placed upon its final passage; or 5 27 (2) Insist, which will send the bill to a conference 5 28 committee. 5 29 c. If the house originating the bill amends the amendment, 5 30 that house shall concur in the amendment as amended and the 5 31 bill shall be immediately placed on final passage, and shall 5 32 be returned to the other house. The other house cannot 5 33 further amend the bill. 5 34 (1) If the amending house which gave second consideration 5 35 to the bill concurs in the amendment to the amendment, the 6 1 bill shall then be immediately placed upon its final passage. 6 2 (2) If the amending house refuses to concur in the 6 3 amendment to the amendment, the bill shall be returned to the 6 4 house originating the bill which shall either: 6 5 (a) Recede, after which the bill shall be read for the 6 6 last time as amended and immediately placed upon its final 6 7 passage; or 6 8 (b) Insist, which will send the bill to a conference 6 9 committee. 6 10 2. A motion to recede has precedence over a motion to 6 11 insist. Failure to recede means to insist; and failure to 6 12 insist means to recede. 6 13 3. A motion to lay on the table or to indefinitely 6 14 postpone shall be out of order with respect to motions to 6 15 recede from or insist upon and to amendments to bills which 6 16 have passed both houses. 6 17 4. A motion to concur, refuse to concur, recede, insist, 6 18 or adopt a conference committee report is in order even though 6 19 the subject matter has previously been acted upon. 6 20 Rule 13 6 21 Conference Committee 6 22 1. Within one legislative day after either house insists 6 23 upon an amendment to a bill, the presiding officer of the 6 24 house, after consultation with the majority leader, shall 6 25 appoint three majority party members and, after consultation 6 26 with the minority leader, shall appoint two minority party 6 27 members to a conference committee. The majority leader of the 6 28 senate, after consultation with the president, shall appoint 6 29 three majority party members and, after consultation with and 6 30 approval by the minority leader, shall appoint two minority 6 31 party members to a conference committee. The papers shall 6 32 remain with the house that originated the bill. 6 33 2. The conference committee shall meet before the end of 6 34 the next legislative day after their appointment, shall select 6 35 a chair and shall discuss the controversy. 7 1 3. The authority of the first conference committee shall 7 2 cover only issues related to provisions of the bill and 7 3 amendments to the bill which were adopted by either the senate 7 4 or the house of representatives and on which the senate and 7 5 house of representatives differed. If a conference committee 7 6 report is not acted upon because such action would violate 7 7 this subsection of this rule, the inaction on the report shall 7 8 constitute refusal to adopt the conference committee report 7 9 and shall have the same effect as if the conference committee 7 10 had disagreed. 7 11 4. An agreement on recommendations must be approved by at 7 12 least three members from each house. The committee shall 7 13 submit two originals of the report signed by at least three 7 14 members of each house with one signed original and three 7 15 copies to be submitted to each house. The report shall first 7 16 be acted upon in the house originating the bill. Such action, 7 17 including all papers, shall be immediately referred by the 7 18 secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the house of 7 19 representatives to the other house. 7 20 5. The report of agreement is debatable, but cannot be 7 21 amended. If the report contains recommended amendments to the 7 22 bill, adoption of the report shall automatically adopt all 7 23 amendments contained therein. After the report is adopted, 7 24 there shall be no more debate, and the bill shall immediately 7 25 be placed upon its final passage. 7 26 6. Refusal of either house to adopt the conference 7 27 committee report has the same effect as if the committee had 7 28 disagreed. 7 29 7. If the conference committee fails to reach agreement, a 7 30 report of such failure signed by at least three members of 7 31 each house shall be given promptly to each house. The bill 7 32 shall be returned to the house that originated the bill, the 7 33 members of the committee shall be immediately discharged, and 7 34 a new conference committee appointed in the same manner as the 7 35 first conference committee. 8 1 8. The authority of a second or subsequent conference 8 2 committee shall cover free conference during which the 8 3 committee has authority to propose amendments to any portion 8 4 of a bill provided the amendment is within the subject matter 8 5 content of the bill as passed by the house of origin or as 8 6 amended by the second house. 8 7 Rule 14 8 8 Enrollment and Authentication of Bills 8 9 A bill or resolution which has passed both houses shall be 8 10 enrolled in the house of origin under the direction of either 8 11 the secretary or the chief clerk and its house of origin shall 8 12 be certified by the endorsement of the secretary of the senate 8 13 or the chief clerk of the house. 8 14 After enrollment, each bill shall be signed by the 8 15 president of the senate and by the speaker of the house. 8 16 Rule 15 8 17 Concerning Other Enrollments 8 18 All resolutions and other matters which are to be presented 8 19 to the governor for approval shall be enrolled, signed, and 8 20 presented in the same manner as bills. 8 21 All resolutions and other matters which are not to be 8 22 presented to the governor or the secretary of state shall be 8 23 enrolled, signed, and retained permanently by the secretary of 8 24 the senate or chief clerk of the house. 8 25 Rule 16 8 26 Transmission of Bills to the Governor 8 27 After a bill has been signed in each house, it shall be 8 28 presented by the house of origin to the governor by either the 8 29 secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the house. The 8 30 secretary or the chief clerk shall report the date of the 8 31 presentation, which shall be entered upon the journal of the 8 32 house of origin. 8 33 Rule 17 8 34 Fiscal Notes 8 35 A fiscal note shall be attached to any bill or joint 9 1 resolution which reasonably could have an annual effect of at 9 2 least one hundred thousand dollars or a combined total effect 9 3 within five years after enactment of five hundred thousand 9 4 dollars or more on the aggregate revenues, expenditures, or 9 5 fiscal liability of the state or its subdivisions. This rule 9 6 does not apply to appropriation and ways and means measures 9 7 where the total effect is stated in dollar amounts. 9 8 Each fiscal note shall state in dollars the estimated 9 9 effect of the bill on the revenues, expenditures, and fiscal 9 10 liability of the state or its subdivisions during the first 9 11 five years after enactment. The information shall 9 12 specifically note the fiscal impact for the first two years 9 13 following enactment and the anticipated impact for the 9 14 succeeding three years. The fiscal note shall specify the 9 15 source of the information. Sources of funds for expenditures 9 16 under the bill shall be stated, including federal funds. If 9 17 the fiscal director cannot make an accurate estimate, the 9 18 director shall state the best available estimate or shall 9 19 state that no dollar estimate can be made and state concisely 9 20 the reason. 9 21 The preliminary determination of whether the bill appears 9 22 to require a fiscal note shall be made by the legislative 9 23 service bureau which shall send a copy of the request to the 9 24 legislative fiscal bureau unless the requestor specifies the 9 25 request is to be confidential. Upon completion of the bill 9 26 draft, the legislative service bureau shall immediately send a 9 27 copy to the legislative fiscal director for review. 9 28 When a committee reports a bill to the floor, the committee 9 29 shall state in the report whether a fiscal note is or is not 9 30 required. 9 31 The legislative fiscal director shall review all bills 9 32 placed on the senate or house calendars to determine whether 9 33 the bills are subject to this rule. 9 34 Additionally, a legislator may request the preparation of a 9 35 fiscal note by the legislative fiscal bureau for any bill or 10 1 joint resolution introduced which reasonably could be subject 10 2 to this rule. 10 3 The legislative fiscal director shall cause to be prepared 10 4 and shall approve a fiscal note within a reasonable time after 10 5 receiving a request or determining that a bill is subject to 10 6 this rule. All fiscal notes approved by the legislative 10 7 fiscal bureau director shall be transmitted immediately to the 10 8 secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the house, after 10 9 notifying the sponsor of the bill that a fiscal note has been 10 10 prepared, for publication in the daily clip sheet. The 10 11 secretary of the senate or chief clerk of the house shall 10 12 attach the fiscal note to the bill as soon as it is available. 10 13 The legislative fiscal director may request the cooperation 10 14 of any state department or agency in preparing a fiscal note. 10 15 A revised fiscal note may be requested by a legislator if 10 16 the fiscal effect of the bill has been changed by adoption of 10 17 an amendment. However, a request for a revised fiscal note 10 18 shall not delay action on a bill unless so ordered by the 10 19 presiding officer of the house in which the bill is under 10 20 consideration. 10 21 If a date for adjournment has been set, then a 10 22 constitutional majority of the house in which the bill is 10 23 under consideration may waive the fiscal note requirement 10 24 during the three days prior to the date set for adjournment. 10 25 Rule 18 10 26 Legislative Interns 10 27 Legislators may arrange student internships during the 10 28 legislative session with Iowa college, university, or law 10 29 school students, for which the students may receive college 10 30 credit at the discretion of their schools. Each legislator is 10 31 allowed only one intern at a time per legislative session, and 10 32 all interns must be registered with the offices of the 10 33 secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of the house. 10 34 The purpose of the legislative intern program shall be: to 10 35 provide useful staff services to legislators not otherwise 11 1 provided by the general assembly; to give interested college, 11 2 graduate, and law school students practical experience in the 11 3 legislative process as well as providing a meaningful 11 4 educational experience; and to enrich the curriculum of 11 5 participating colleges and universities. 11 6 The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of the 11 7 house or their designees shall have the following 11 8 responsibilities as regards the legislative intern program: 11 9 1. Identify a supervising faculty member at each 11 10 participating institution who shall be responsible for 11 11 authorizing students to participate in the intern program. 11 12 2. Provide legislators with a list of participating 11 13 institutions and the names of supervising professors to 11 14 contact if interested in arranging for an intern. 11 15 3. Provide interns with name badges which will allow them 11 16 access to the floor of either house when required to be 11 17 present by the legislators for whom they work. 11 18 4. Provide orientation materials to interns prior to the 11 19 convening of each session. 11 20 Rule 19 11 21 Administrative Rules Review Committee Bills 11 22 and Rule Referrals 11 23 A bill which relates to departmental rules and which is 11 24 approved by the administrative rules review committee by a 11 25 majority of the committee's members of each house is eligible 11 26 for introduction in either house at any time and must be 11 27 referred to a standing committee, which must take action on 11 28 the bill within three weeks of referral, except bills referred 11 29 to appropriations and ways and means committees. 11 30 If, on or after July 1, 1999, the administrative rules 11 31 review committee delays the effective date of a rule until the 11 32 adjournment of the next regular session of the general 11 33 assembly and the speaker of the house or the president of the 11 34 senate refers the rule to a standing committee, the standing 11 35 committee shall review the rule within twenty-one days of the 12 1 referral and shall take formal committee action by sponsoring 12 2 a joint resolution to disapprove the rule, by proposing 12 3 legislation relating to the rule, or by refusing to propose a 12 4 joint resolution or legislation concerning the rule. The 12 5 standing committee shall inform the administrative rules 12 6 review committee of the committee action taken concerning the 12 7 rule. 12 8 Rule 20 12 9 Time of Committee Passage and Consideration of Bills 12 10 1. This rule does not apply to concurrent or simple 12 11 resolutions, joint resolutions nullifying administrative 12 12 rules, senate confirmations,bills embodying redistricting12 13plans prepared by the legislative service bureau pursuant to12 14chapter 42,or bills passed by both houses in different forms. 12 15 Subsection 2 of this rule does not apply to appropriations 12 16 bills, ways and means bills, legalizing acts, administrative 12 17 rules review committee bills, bills sponsored by standing 12 18 committees in response to a referral from the president of the 12 19 senate or the speaker of the house of representatives relating 12 20 to an administrative rule whose effective date has been 12 21 delayed until the adjournment of the next regular session of 12 22 the general assembly by the administrative rules review 12 23 committee, bills cosponsored by majority and minority floor 12 24 leaders of one house, bills in conference committee, and 12 25 companion bills sponsored by the majority floor leaders of 12 26 both houses after consultation with the respective minority 12 27 floor leaders. For the purposes of this rule, a joint 12 28 resolution is considered as a bill. To be considered an 12 29 appropriations or ways and means bill for the purposes of this 12 30 rule, the appropriations committee or the ways and means 12 31 committee must either be the sponsor of the bill or the 12 32 committee of first referral in the originating house. 12 33 2. To be placed on the calendar in the house of origin, a 12 34 bill must be first reported out of a standing committee by 12 35 Friday of the 10th week of the first session and the 8th week 13 1 of the second session.

A "concurrent resolution" is a resolution to be adopted 13 24 by both houses of the general assembly which expresses the 13 25 sentiment of the general assembly or deals with temporary 13 26 legislative matters. It may authorize the expenditure, for 13 27 any legislative purpose, of funds appropriated to the general 13 28 assembly. A concurrent resolution is not limited to, but may 13 29 provide for a joint convention of the general assembly, 13 30 adjournment or recess of the general assembly, or requests to 13 31 a state agency or to the general assembly or a committee. A 13 32 concurrent resolution requires the affirmative vote of a 13 33 majority of the senators or representatives present and voting 13 34 unless otherwise specified by statute. A concurrent 13 35 resolution does not require the governor's approval unless 14 1 otherwise specified by statute. A concurrent resolution shall 14 2 be filed with the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk 14 3 of the house. A concurrent resolution shall be printed in the 14 4 bound journal after its adoption. 14 5 2. A "joint resolution" is a resolution which requires for 14 6 approval the affirmative vote of a constitutional majority of 14 7 each house of the general assembly. A joint resolution which 14 8 appropriates funds or enacts temporary laws must contain the 14 9 clause "Be It Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of 14 10 Iowa:", is equivalent to a bill, and must be transmitted to 14 11 the governor for his approval. A joint resolution which 14 12 proposes amendments to the Constitution of the State of Iowa, 14 13 ratifies amendments to the Constitution of the United States, 14 14 proposes a request to Congress or an agency of the government 14 15 of the United States of America, proposes to Congress an 14 16 amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, 14 17 nullifies an administrative rule, or creates a special 14 18 commission or committee must contain the clause "Be It 14 19 Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Iowa:" and 14 20 shall not be transmitted to the governor.

A nullification resolution shall not amend an 14 28 administrative rule by adding language or by inserting new 14 29 language in lieu of existing language. 14 30 A nullification resolution is debatable, but cannot be 14 31 amended on the floor of the house or senate. The effective 14 32 date of a nullification resolution shall be stated in the 14 33 resolution. Any motions filed to reconsider adoption of a 14 34 nullification resolution must be disposed of within one 14 35 legislative day of the filing. 15 1 Rule 23 15 2 Consideration of Vetoes 15 3 1. The senate and house calendar shall include a list 15 4 known as the "Veto Calendar." The veto calendar shall consist 15 5 of: 15 6 a. Bills returned to that house by the governor in 15 7 accordance with Article III, section 16 of the Constitution of 15 8 the State of Iowa. 15 9 b. Appropriations items returned to that house by the 15 10 governor in accordance with Article III, section 16 of the 15 11 Constitution of the State of Iowa. 15 12 c. Bills and appropriations items received from the other 15 13 house after that house has voted to override a veto of them by 15 14 the governor. 15 15 2. Vetoed bills and appropriations items shall 15 16 automatically be placed on the veto calendar upon receipt. 15 17 Vetoed bills and appropriations items shall not be referred to 15 18 committee. 15 19 3. Upon first publication in the veto calendar, the senate 15 20 majority leader or the house majority leader may call up a 15 21 vetoed bill or appropriations item at any time. 15 22 4. The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of 15 23 the body by record roll call is required on a motion to 15 24 override an executive veto or item veto. 15 25 5. A motion to override an executive veto or item veto is 15 26 debatable. A vetoed bill or appropriation item cannot be 15 27 amended in this case. 15 28 6. The vote by which a motion to override an executive 15 29 veto or item veto passes or fails to pass either house is not 15 30 subject to reconsideration under senate rule 24 or house rule 15 31 73. 15 32 7. The secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the 15 33 house shall immediately notify the other house of the adoption 15 34 or rejection of a motion to override an executive veto or item 15 35 veto. 16 1 8. All bills and appropriations items on the veto calendar 16 2 shall be disposed of before adjournment sine die, unless the 16 3 house having a bill or appropriation item before it declines 16 4 to do so by unanimous consent. 16 5 9.
