EXPLANATION OF THE CONSENT CALENDARBills on the Consent Calendar may be considered for final passage by the House today. Each bill has had two prior readings and has been acted upon by one or more standing committees. Each bill has been printed and copies have been placed on the members' desks for at least one day. Bills on the Consent Calendar did not appear on the General Register. Bills on the Consent Calendar were placed there by a recommendation of a standing committee which considered the bill to be noncontroversial. Pursuant to the Rules of the House, bills may be removed from the Consent Calendar and placed on the General Register if ten members object to the bill because it is controversial. Amendments may be offered to bills on the Consent Calendar and each bill is given a third reading prior to final roll call. This document can be made available in alternative formats upon request.
