Adopts the 2025 House temporary rules as the 2025 permanent rules with the following exceptions:

If the session is convened with a pro forma session, authorizes the prayer and pledge required under Rule 2 to be delayed until a session that is not a pro forma session.

Amends Rule 8.1 as follows. Divides points of personal privilege to those in and outside of session in Rule 8.1 as follows. For those in session, reduces the speaking time from three minutes to one minute on a matter of immediate importance that concerns the House collectively unless otherwise provided by the Speaker of the House (Speaker). For points taken outside of session, specifies that during business hours designed by the Principal Clerk of the House members may reserve time to speak from the Well of the House on a point of personal privilege for a time not exceeding 10 minutes. Provides for video recording of members making outside points of personal privilege, and requests for duplications to be made and fulfilled by the office of the Principal Clerk within one week of presentation, after which the recording will be deleted. Limits explanations of “Representative Statements” to outside points of personal privilege, and eliminates voting requirements for the Representative Statement to be spread across the Journal; now just requires a request. Prevents from points of personal privilege and Representative Statements from being used to speak to policy or politics, or to advocate or advise on political issues or ideologies. Makes organizational changes.

Broadens the types of votes where calling the previous question under Rule 19 limits debate to three minutes each by representatives of the majority and minority party to include votes on overriding a gubernatorial veto.

Now allows members to vote on a determining question under Rule 22 if they are in the Chamber between the time when the question is put and the time the vote is locked (was, member had to be in the Chamber when the question was put).

Authorizes the Speaker to set written procedures for when a member may change a vote without leave of the House under Rule 24(c).

Includes the Minority Leader as another ex officio member of a standing committee under Rule 26. Makes conforming changes to account for addition of Minority Leader as an ex officio member as described. Makes technical change.

Modifies the named standing committees as described in Rule 27.

Sets the deadline for submitting a bill to the House Principal Clerk for introduction to 3:00 PM on the legislative day prior to its first reading (was, 15 minutes after adjournment each Monday and 3:00 PM each Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).

Removes requirement in Rule 32 for all public bills and resolutions reported by any standing committee to have also been reported by the Committee on Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House prior to being calendared for consideration by the House, unless waived by leave of the House.

Removes Rule 35.1 (requiring favorable reports or recommendations from the Municipal Incorporations Subcommittee of the Joint Legislative Committee on Local Government for legislative proposals).

Limits preparation and attachment of actuarial notes in Rule 36.2 only to when they are required by State law for the listed matters. Now requires such statements to be available (was, attached) at the time of its consideration by any committee (was, any standing committee). Removes requirement that actuarial notes be attached to resolutions. Keeps requirement that a clearly designated actuarial note be attached to the jacket of each proposed reported favorably by any committee, but removes requirement that it be separate from the bill. Now authorizes (was, requires) the bill sponsor to present a copy of the bill with a request for an actuarial note to the Fiscal Research Division (FRD). Changes the FRD’s processing of those requests so that at the request of the sponsor, or at its own discretion, it requests that the chief administrative officer of the system or program affected by the bill to have the actuary of the system or program prepare an actuarial note on the bill and to transmit the note to the sponsor of the bill and the FRD within the timeframe established by the rule. (Previously, FRD was just directed to prepare the actuarial note as promptly as possible, but within the timeframe set by Rule 36.2 and bill sponsor was required to present a copy of the measure to the actuary of the impacted program for that person to prepare an actuarial note for the bill sponsor within two weeks as described). Requires the bill sponsor to obtain an actuarial note from the administrator of an affected program if his or her bill is amended in a way that would substantially affect the cost to or the revenues of the system or program. (Previously, the bill sponsor had to obtain an actuarial note from the FRD only when the amendment would impact a retirement or pension system or program of hospital, medical, disability, or related program for teachers or State employees, as described). Makes organizational and conforming changes.  

Makes technical and conforming changes to Rule 58.1 (temporary modifications to certain rules due to a state of emergency).   

Changes references from temporary rules to permanent rules throughout.
