Recalling Bills

RECALLING BILLS

Under Article III, Section 12 of the state Constitution, state House and Senate leaders can recall bills from committee with a one-third vote. In the Senate, that means nine of 25 members. Here is the provision from the Constitution:

"Twenty days after a bill has been referred to a committee in either house, the bill may be recalled from such committee by the affirmative vote of one-third of the members to which such house is entitled."
