Members of the General Assembly and members-elect of the General
Assembly who have received their certificates of election are hereby
authorized, during such time as the General Assembly is not in session, to
pre-file bills and resolutions for introduction in the next succeeding regular
legislative session with the director of the Legislative Research Commission.
Bills and resolutions which are pre-filed under the provisions of this section
shall be in such final and correct form for introduction in the General Assembly
as required by the constitution, laws and rules of the respective houses of the
Legislature. The original copy of every bill and resolution pre-filed shall include
thereon, immediately below the typed or printed name of the sponsor thereof,
the full signature of said sponsor.
The director of the Legislative Research Commission is authorized and
directed to receive pre-filed bills and resolutions, to assign numbers for
introduction in the proper house in order of receipt, and, subject to the
provisions of subsection (3) of this section, to deliver the original and four (4)
copies of each bill and resolution to the secretary of the Senate or the chief
clerk of the House, as the case may be, on the first day of the regular session.
Pre-filed bills and resolutions shall be considered as introduced on the day of
their delivery to each house. No measure that is filed and printed pursuant to
this section shall be distributed to members, members-elect, or the public
unless the person filing the measure specifically authorizes in writing such
distribution.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2) of this section, in the event all
the persons sponsoring a pre-filed bill or resolution shall have ceased to be
members of the General Assembly at the time of the convening of the next
succeeding regular legislative session, the pre-filing of that bill or resolution
shall be considered to be without effect, and the director of the Legislative
Research Commission shall not deliver the original or copies to the secretary of
the Senate or the chief clerk of the House.
