General Information about the General Assembly: 76-1
RULES
At the convening of the first session of a General Assembly, the Committee on
Rules and Administration of the Senate and Committee on Administration and
Rules of the House review the rules that were adopted for the preceding General
Assembly. These committees propose changes both to the rules of their own
chamber and to the joint rules adopted by both chambers. Their proposals are
placed in Senate and House Resolutions and in Concurrent Resolutions (for the
joint rules), and are considered by the Senate and House. Once the rules are
adopted, they are the rules for the two-year period of the General Assembly. If
a question about legislative procedure arises that is not addressed in the
rules, Mason's Manual of Legislative
Procedure applies.
