          SENATE VOTE:  35-0


          SUBJECT:  Joint Rules.


          SUMMARY:  Adopts the Joint Rules of the Senate and Assembly for  
          the 2015-16 Regular Session.  The following changes were made  
          from the 2009-10 Joint Rules: 


          1)Requires that bills which result in a substantial increase in  
            revenue shall also be referred to the Appropriations  
            Committee.  (Joint Rule 10.5)

          2)Conforms the Joint Rules to Assembly Rule 77.2, which allows a  
            bill substantially amended in the Senate to be re-referred to  
            appropriate committee(s).  (Joint Rule 26.5) 



          3)Allows the Rules Committee of either house to permit a Member  
            to author a substantively similar bill more than once in a  
            legislative session.  (Joint Rule 54(c))

          4)Extends the amount of time the Legislature may consider a  
            legislative veto from 60 calendar days to 60 legislative days  
            or until adjournment of session sine die.  (Joint Rule 58.5)



          5)Updates legislative deadlines to correspond to the appropriate  
            date and clarifies that budget bill appropriation bills are  
            exempt from Joint Rules 61. (Joint Rule 61)



          6)Deletes the redistricting language to conform to Proposition  
            11, which created the 14-member Citizens Redistricting  
            Commission to draw legislative, congressional, and Board of  
            Equalization district boundaries.  (Joint Rule 62.5)
