What the bill appears to do (based on the title and procedural status)
- The title indicates the measure involves a communication from the Clerk of the House and a reference to Joint Rule 308.2, with a letter reference tied to “24 Bills” dated 2/27/2025.
- The bill’s status and actions suggest a procedural or housekeeping item rather than a substantive policy program. Specifically:
- It is a communication-related measure likely intended to formalize, acknowledge, or act upon a clerical/administrative directive or list connected to Joint Rule 308.2.
- The language “Letter Reference 24 Bills 2/27/2025” implies it may be documenting or routing certain letters or references related to a set of bills, rather than creating or funding new programs.
Key provisions and changes (notes)
- Text not provided in the summary. As a result, specific provisions, amendments to Joint Rule 308.2, or required actions are not identifiable here.
- Given the procedural posture (read and placed on file, sent for concurrence, and then read again and placed on file in concurrence), the bill likely does one or more of the following if enacted:
- Officially acknowledge or record a Clerk of the House communication.
- Clarify or implement a specific aspect of Joint Rule 308.2 as it pertains to letters or references tied to a batch of bills.
- Create or formalize a process for handling concurrent communications between chambers.
Who would be affected
- The Clerk of the House (procedural and administrative duties).
- Members and staff involved in joint-rule administration and correspondence between chambers.
- Legislative offices handling concurrence and filing processes.
Procedural and timeline considerations
- Introduced on March 4, 2025.
- Immediate actions taken: the measure was read, then ordered placed on file, and sent for concurrence.
- Subsequent actions: on March 11, 2025, it was again read and ordered placed on file, in concurrence.
- Next steps (if the measure advances): typically, a concurrence bill moves between chambers for approval or objections; if both chambers place it on file, it may not become law, or it may require further action depending on the chamber’s rules and the content of the final language.
