    House Rule 71

    House Calendar

    Bills and non-privileged resolutions reported from committees to the House with an affirmative recommendation shall be listed on the calendar in such manner as prescribed by the Rules Committee and any other rule of the House. House bills and House resolutions shall precede Senate bills and Senate resolutions.

    Bills and non-privileged resolutions shall be listed on the House Calendar for no more than 15 consecutive legislative days. At the end of the 15th consecutive legislative day the said bill or non-privileged resolution shall be automatically recommitted to the committee from which it was reported to the floor of the House.

    Any bill or non-privileged resolution on the calendar which cannot, by its status, be recommitted shall be removed from the calendar and laid on the table, unless the House shall otherwise direct.

    A marked calendar compiled by the Majority Leader shall be provided to all members on each legislative day on which votes are scheduled on the calendar.
