Section 1.735 - Rules of procedure; limitation on scope and substance; submission of rules to members of bar and Legislative Assembly.
(1) The Council on Court Procedures shall promulgate rules governing pleading, practice and procedure, including rules governing form and service of summons and process and personal and in rem jurisdiction, in all civil proceedings in all courts of the state which shall not abridge, enlarge or modify the substantive rights of any litigant. The rules authorized by this section do not include rules of evidence and rules of appellate procedure. The rules thus adopted and any amendments which may be adopted from time to time, together with a list of statutory sections superseded thereby, shall be submitted to the Legislative Assembly at the beginning of each odd-numbered year regular session and shall go into effect on January 1 following the close of that session unless the Legislative Assembly shall provide an earlier effective date. The Legislative Assembly may, by statute, amend, repeal or supplement any of the rules.
(2) A promulgation, amendment or repeal of a rule by the council is invalid and does not become effective unless the exact language of the proposed promulgation, amendment or repeal is published or distributed to all members of the bar at least 30 days before the meeting at which the council plans to take final action on the promulgation, amendment or repeal. If the language of the proposed promulgation, amendment or repeal is changed by the council after consideration of the language at the meeting, the council must publish or distribute notification of the change to all members of the bar within 60 days after the meeting. All changes made to proposed promulgations, amendments or repeals of rules pursuant to the provisions of this subsection must be clearly identified when the promulgation, amendment or repeal is submitted to the Legislative Assembly under subsection (1) of this section.
