Requires members of the general assembly to stay present in a hearing when a bill they sponsor is being heard

HB 1392 requires legislators who sponsor bills to remain present in the hearing room for the entire public hearing on their own legislation. It mandates continuous attendance unless the sponsor leaves briefly for essential health or personal needs (like medical care), requiring them to return within ten minutes. The bill explicitly excludes meal breaks or meetings from the allowed exceptions. This procedural rule directly affects bill sponsors in the general assembly during committee hearings. It aims to ensure sponsor engagement during legislative review without altering substantive policy.
