House Rules Resolution - Abandoning Legislation

Summary

The resolution lets a chief sponsor withdraw a bill or resolution they introduced by filing an abandoning form with the chief clerk before the Senate’s third reading. Once the form is received, the legislation is returned, filed as abandoned, and cannot be revived, though a new, identical bill may be introduced later. This gives sponsors a clear, official way to drop legislation they no longer support.
