Late resolutions may be submitted until noon on Monday, April 8 prior to a meeting of the Rules committee to be held on Monday evening. The Rules Committee will review the late resolutions relative to their timeless of submission and not on the merit of the resolution. The authors of the resolution should plan to attend (and will be invited to) the Zoom meeting and speak to why the resolution was presented after the deadline. Any resolutions submitted after Noon on Monday will be considered Emergency Resolutions and will only become the business of the House if accepted by a 3/4 majority of the Delegates.
