• Introduced by Rep. Jim DeCesare (R) on January 6, 2009, to prohibit the House or Senate from taking a floor vote on a bill, amendment, or free conference report which authorizes spending money or increasing or decreasing revenue receipts without a 24 hour waiting period after the bill becomes available to the public on the legislature's website or in the Legislative Record. The 24 hour waiting period must occur only during legislative days. The bill allows the waiting period to be waived by a two-thirds vote of a legislative body via roll call vote.
