Purpose and Intent

This is a housekeeping, procedural measure. It extends the deadline by which the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight (SARO) may file its final report on certain House documents. Specifically, the bill authorizes SARO to complete and report on the listed documents by December 3, 2025, overriding the ordinary deadline set by House Rule 27.

Key Provisions

  • Grants SARO until Wednesday, December 3, 2025 to make its final report.
  • Applies “notwithstanding the provisions of House Rule 27,” allowing an extension beyond the standard reporting deadline.
  • Applies to SARO’s final reports on current House documents numbered 3295, 3352, 3408, 3410, 3413, and 3420.
  • The language is an order, not a policy change affecting substantive legislation.

Documents Affected

  • Current House documents to be reported on: 3295, 3352, 3408, 3410, 3413, 3420

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary: Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight (SARO)
  • Legislative staff and members relying on SARO’s final reports for these documents
  • No direct policy or fiscal changes; the impact is procedural, delaying final reporting deadlines to a specified date for the listed documents

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced and referred: July 30, 2025 (referred to House Rules)
  • Legislative actions on July 30, 2025: Committee reported ought to be adopted; Rules suspended; Adopted
  • Effective effect: The order becomes binding for SARO to finalize and report on the specified documents by December 3, 2025
  • Court of change: The corrected version of the bill clarifies the timing and scope; HD 4905 is listed as related/replacing

Practical Implications

  • Provides additional time for SARO to complete analysis and reporting on the six listed House documents.
  • Keeps the legislative process moving for those documents by extending the reporting deadline to a fixed future date.
  • No new policy mandates or funding changes are introduced by this measure; the action is strictly procedural.
