2.16 PREFILING LEGISLATIVE BILLS.
Any member of the general assembly or any person elected to serve
in the general assembly, or any standing committee, may sponsor and
submit legislative bills and joint resolutions for consideration by
the general assembly, before the convening of any session of the
general assembly. Each house may approve rules for placing prefiled
standing committee bills or joint resolutions on its calendar. Such
bills and resolutions shall be numbered, printed, and distributed in
a manner to be determined by joint rule of the general assembly or,
in the absence of such rule, by the legislative council. All such
bills and resolutions, except those sponsored by standing committees,
shall be assigned to regular standing committees by the presiding
officers of the houses when the general assembly convenes.
Departments and agencies of state government shall, at least
forty-five days prior to the convening of each session of the general
assembly, submit copies to the legislative services agency of
proposed legislative bills and joint resolutions which such
departments desire to be considered by the general assembly. The
proposed legislative bills and joint resolutions of the governor must
be submitted by the Friday prior to the convening of the session of
the general assembly, except in the year of the governor's initial
inauguration. The legislative services agency shall review such
proposals and submit them in proper form to the presiding officer in
each house of the general assembly for referral to the proper
standing committee. Before submitting any proposal prepared under
this section to the presiding officers, the legislative services
agency shall return it for review to, as appropriate, the relevant
department or agency or the governor's office and such department or
agency or the governor's office shall review and return it within
seven days of such delivery.
The costs of carrying out the provisions of this section shall be
paid pursuant to section 2.12.
