HR 6004 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Providing the permanent rules of the House of Representatives for the 2025-2026 biennium.

This Kansas House resolution establishes the permanent rules of procedure for the state legislature during the 2025-2026 legislative session. The bill sets specific guidelines for daily operations, including meeting times, the order in which business is conducted, and protocols for introducing bills and handling committee reports. It also introduces a streamlined "Session Proforma" process that allows the House to handle routine administrative tasks without requiring a full quorum or extensive debate. Additionally, the resolution details how members may request rulings on procedural questions and outlines the limited debate allowed when appealing those rulings.
