Who is affected
- Primarily affects internal House operations:
- Scott E. Starr (assumes duties and authorities of the Clerk)
- House members and committees (who rely on the Clerk for records, official documents, legislative processing, roll calls, and administrative support)
- Clerk’s office staff and house administrative functions (reporting lines, duties continue under the newly elected Clerk)
- No direct effect on the general public, state agencies, or local governments.
Fiscal and legal impact
- No fiscal impact is expected: the resolution does not create new programs, expenditures, or obligations.
- It is an internal House organizational action (a resolution), not a statute creating enforceable public law. Such resolutions generally take effect upon adoption by the House and do not require executive approval.
Procedural / timeline notes
- The resolution was introduced and adopted during the House’s organizational proceedings for the One Hundred Third Legislature.
- Following adoption, the resolution was enrolled (reported enrolled 08/28/2025), which is the clerical step documenting the House action for the legislative record.
- As an internal organizational resolution, its immediate effect is to vest the Clerk’s office responsibilities in Scott E. Starr for the stated legislative term.
Additional note on source material
- The file provided includes multiple different “HR 3” texts and a fiscal note about an unrelated Rule 40 change (prohibiting food/drink/smoking/vaping in the chamber) from other jurisdictions. Those materials appear to be attachments or excerpts from other states’ House Resolutions and are not part of the operative text electing Scott E. Starr.
