CALENDAR OF MOTIONS TO DISCHARGE COMMITTEES

Clause 2 of Rule XV states:

"A Member may present to the Clerk a motion in writing to discharge... a committee from consideration of a public bill or public resolution that has been referred to it thirty legislative days...When a majority of the total membership of the House shall have signed the motion, it shall be entered on the Journal, printed with the signatures thereto in the Record, and referred to the Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees."

This "Discharge Calendar" lists all motions to discharge committees through special procedures. This calendar is only very infrequently used.
