This bill restricts which committees can introduce legislation by limiting committee bill introductions to standing committees, interim committees of the Legislative Research Council, and five specific interim committees (Rules Review, Government Operations and Audit, Retirement Laws, Joint Bonding Review, and State-Tribal Relations), plus bills requested by the Governor or Supreme Court. The change removes language that previously allowed other committees to introduce bills, while still allowing individual legislators to introduce bills on their own. Committee chairmen can now pre-file these bills without a full committee vote.
