§ 3. Order of business. a. The first business of each day's session

shall be the reading of the Journal of the preceding day, and the

correction of any errors that may be found to exist therein, provided,

however, that such reading of the Journal may be waived, without debate,

upon a majority vote of the members present and provided further that on

any day on which bills on any order of third reading are before the

House for final disposition, and a vote is to be taken thereon, a roll

call of the members shall be taken for attendance purposes prior to the

reading of such Journal. Such roll call may be taken by electronic

device. Immediately thereafter, except on days and at times set apart

for the consideration of special orders, the order of business, which

shall not be departed from except by a vote of two-thirds of the members

present, to be determined by a call of the roll, shall be as follows:

(1) messages from the Governor and from the Senate, communications

(6) Assembly bills amended by the Senate; and

(7) introduction of original resolutions.

b. At the commencement of each day's session the Majority Leader, or

his or her designee, shall announce a schedule of legislation intended

reading or the order of special second and third reading for the first

time shall be included within such schedule.

c. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision a of this section,

messages from the Governor and Senate, communications and reports from

State officers, reports from the Judiciary Committee which involve the

right of a member to his or her seat and reports from the Committee on

Rules shall be received at any time.

d. When consideration of the orders of the day is not finished, those

not acted upon shall be the orders for the next and each succeeding day

until disposed of, and shall be entered first in the Calendar without

change in their order.

the assent of two-thirds of the members present. When so made, a

similar vote shall be required to rescind or postpone such matter.
