Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This joint resolution makes various changes to the joint rules. The joint
resolution:
1. Deletes a requirement for legislative documents other than stationery to be
given to the contract printer for printing, permits reproduction rather than printing
of legislative documents and permits the reproduction of additional copies of
legislative documents to be authorized by the chief clerks of the houses, rather than
by the committee on organization of each house as currently provided.
2. Deletes the requirement that notations of legislative action be made on the
jackets of proposals, thereby permitting this record-keeping function to be prepared
electronically.
3. Continues the requirement for a bulletin of proceedings, but deletes the
requirements that it be published in 4 volumes and that it be published weekly.
4. Permits the document numbers of floor amendments to be distinguished
from the document numbers of other amendments.
5. Requires the chief clerks to assign an enrolled joint resolution number to any
joint resolution amending the constitution and permits them to assign such an
enrolled number to any other joint resolution. The resolution requires all joint
resolutions that are assigned an enrolled joint resolution number to be printed in the
session laws. Currently, all joint resolutions relating to constitutional amendments,
advisory referenda, memorials, investigations and studies must be printed in the
session laws.
6. Permits the use of facsimile signatures by legislative officers who are
required to sign resolutions of more than one copy, rather than more than 10 copies,
as currently provided.
7. Provides that all officers required by assembly rule, rather than just the
speaker, must approve the meetings of committees outside of Madison.
