HR 1 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

House Temporary Rules.

HR 1 is a procedural resolution adopting the temporary operating rules for the North Carolina House of Representatives during the 2025 legislative session. It establishes specific session hours (e.g., no Friday sessions in January/February, no sessions after 10 PM Monday or 9 PM other days), defines quorum requirements (a majority of members present), and outlines the daily order of business - from approving the previous day’s journal to reading bills and committee reports. The rules also include provisions for emergencies, pro forma sessions (minimal business only), and debate conduct. As a procedural document, it directly affects House members, staff, and the session’s operational flow but does not create new policy.
