to file a Minority Report if they want a Minority
Report to come to the Convention.
Secondly, Rule 27 of the Rules as they now
stand guarantees any delegate an opportunity for hearing
by a committee, if the committee reports to take action wit
respect to substantive matter covered by his proposal.
Certainly, a minority feeling will have already been
represented by a proposal introduced in the Convention; so
there is at least one day there. Then Rule 31 provides
there has to be a three day delay, and I would imagine
when
that/this Convention reaches the full press of business
that it will be more than a three day delay before a
report reaches the Committee of the Whole and is taken up
in the Committee of the Rule.
Next, Rule 28 guarantees that a report of at
least 20 per cent of a committee, quote, Shall be re-
ceived, printed in the same manner as the Majority Report,
and treated as an amendment or substitute offered to or
for the report of the committee, if offered as such on
the floor, end quote.
We have examined the Rules of the State Senate. |
