In State Agencies now

We've had a refresher on the rules as to how to refer the proposed constitutional amendments to the joint committee. Unlike other proposals, we'll refer a bloc of proposed amendments to a joint committee made up of the Senate and House members of State Agencies before three or less are referred to the chambers of the legislature.

Thanks to committee staffer Marietta McClure's reference to Rule 36(n) of the House Rules and this post from 2007 on Under the Dome, we've confirmed the procedure and are now hearing testimony from Rep. Bruce Maloch on his HJR1003. This proposal would remove the interest rate limits on bonds issued by and loans made by or to governments. The proposal is similar to HJR1004 by Rep. Cheatham, which also applies to other types of loans (update: being debated now).
