Summary — HR 6

Title: A resolution to direct the Clerk to notify the Senate that the House of Representatives has assembled and is ready to proceed with the business of the session
Bill type: House resolution (procedural)
Status: Adopted
Introduced: August 15, 2025

Purpose and intent

HR 6 is a short, procedural resolution that directs the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to notify the Senate that the House has convened and is ready to proceed with legislative business. Its intent is ministerial — to effect the formal inter‑chamber notification that typically accompanies the opening and organization of a legislative session and to enable the Legislature to proceed with its work.

Key provisions

  • Directs the Clerk of the House to notify the Senate that the House of Representatives has convened pursuant to applicable constitutional or procedural requirements and is ready to proceed with the business of the session.
  • Contains no policy, programmatic, fiscal, or regulatory changes beyond the notification directive.
  • No appropriation or expenditure is authorized or required.

Who is affected

  • Primary administrative effect on the House Chief Clerk and the Senate (as recipient of the notification).
  • Legislative staff executing routine session-opening procedures.
  • No effect on state agencies, local governments, businesses, or members of the public beyond routine operation of the Legislature.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • Introduced August 15, 2025. According to the legislative actions provided, the resolution was placed on relevant calendars, rules were suspended, and the House adopted the resolution (adoption recorded August 27, 2025).
  • The resolution was reported enrolled following adoption, consistent with routine processing of House resolutions.
  • Because the measure is procedural and administrative in nature, it requires only House action to implement the directive to the Clerk; no further implementation steps or agency rulemaking are necessary.

Fiscal impact

  • None. The resolution is administrative and causes no change in revenue or expenditures.

Bottom line: HR 6 is a routine, non‑substantive House resolution that formalizes the Clerk’s duty to inform the Senate the House is assembled and ready to conduct business.
