House proposal filed to alter membership rules

A rule change has been filed in the Arkansas House today that would alter the rules of membership in the Arkansas House of Representatives. Besides me, the sponsors are Speaker Benny Petrus, incoming Speaker Robbie Wills, Rep. Fred Allen, Rep. Tommy Baker, Rep. David Dunn, and Rep. Bryan King. Here's the link to HR1032.

The speaker will call the House to order on August 5 for consideration of the proposal. The rule change will be sent to House Rules and can be endorsed by the committee and passed by the full House on the same day. A quorum and 2/3 vote of the House is required for passage.
