House suspends Rule 8(t) to let Appropriations Committee consider late amendments to four measures

The Arizona House of Representatives voted on June 17 to suspend House Rule 8(t) to allow the Appropriations Committee to hear amendments to four measures that were posted after the filing deadline. Majority Leader Carbone moved the suspension and members approved it by voice vote.

The motion specifically listed HCR2031, HCR2058, SP1082 and SP1470 as measures for which the Appropriations Committee would be permitted to hear late amendments on the day’s agenda. The action is procedural: suspending the rule allows committee consideration of the late material but does not itself adopt any of the amendments or change the substantive text of the measures.

On the floor, the motion was put and the ayes were announced; the clerk was instructed to record the House action. The transcript does not include the substance of the late amendments or any debate about their content; it records only the suspension of the rule to permit consideration by the committee.

Further action on the four measures and any amendments will depend on the Appropriations Committee’s review and any subsequent committee or floor votes. The transcript does not specify timelines or committee decisions beyond authorizing consideration.
