Under the constitution of 1909, a bill must be printed and in the possession of each house at least five days before passage. The question of whether an unprinted substi- tute for, or a bill different in any particular from, the printed copy may be passed be- comes important. The purposes of the constitutional provision are to give notice and to prevent "railroading. As long as the object of the bill is not changed and, of course, it cannot be constitutionally changed under the section above cited, these purposes are subserved by one printing. The ruling is correct.
209. A concurrent resolution providing for the cancellation of taxes contains matters of legislation, and is not in order .- S. J. 1909, p. 1379.
The subject matter of the resolution, as stated in the point of order, should have been presented in the form of a bill. The constitution provides that all legislation shall be by bill. (Sec. 19, Art. V).
210. A concurrent resolution containing matters of legislation is not in order .- H. J. 1911, p. 150.
This decision is based on the constitutional provision that all legislation must be by bill.
211. Conference committee may not make recommendations except as to matters of difference between the two houses .- H. J. 1911, p. 888.
Nothing but the matters of difference between the two houses are referred to the conference committees, and consequently a report which included other matters was properly held out of order.
212. Matters upon which the house has already expressed judgment cannot be again considered without reconsideration .- H. J. 1911, pp. 150, 178, 187, 231, 232, 287, 288, 408, 460, 1024, 1278.
These decisions conform to the uniform practice of both houses for many years.
213. A motion to take a resolution from the table is not a proper substitute for a motion to suspend the rules for another purpose .- H. J. 1911, p. 1443.
These motions had no relation to each other and, of course, one could not be sub- stituted for the other.
214. A point of order being made that no quorum was present, the speaker directed the roll to be called .- H. J. 1911, pp. 783, 1360.
It is undoubtedly within the province of the speaker to ascertain whether or not a quorum is present, the point being raised, and the calling of the roll was a proper means to the desired end.
215. Previous question ordered on motion to indefinitely postpone while bill was being read a third time, held to apply to vote on passage of the bill .- H. J. 1911, p. 1420.
The speaker's contention in this case was that the order for the previous question Inust operate on the next stage of the bill, which was the question on its passage. The demand, however, was for the previous question on the motion to indefinitely postpone, and being ordered did not extend furtlier than to bring the house to an immediate vote
679
LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS.
on that question. The question on the passage of a bill does not arise until the third reading is completed. The decision was wrong.
216. Report of committee of the whole may be amended .- H. J. 1911, p. 428.
This decision is in line with many other precedents and in accordance with uniform practice.
217. A special committee may not report recommendations beyond scope of subject matter referred to it .- H. J. 1911, p. 409.
The resolution authorizing a special committee defines its powers, beyond which it cannot go.
218. A motion to commit cannot be laid on the table .- H. J. 1911, p. 231.
Subsidiary motions, (except that motions to postpone to a day certain, motions to commit and motions to amend, may be amended), cannot be applied to one another. The motion to lay on the table has precedence of the motion to commit and would be first put.
219. A motion having been made to suspend the house rule which precludes the demand for the yeas and nays in committee of the whole, the speaker declared the motion out of order and the house acquiesced in the decision .- H. J. 1912, 1st Ex. Sess. p. 47.
The reason is stated in the speaker's ruling to be that "the motion to suspend the rule sought to destroy the established procedure of the house; that no record was made or preserved of proceedings in committee of the whole and that if the rule was suspended there would be no means of showing the relationship of the call of the roll to matter under consideration."
220. A communication signed by senators is not a message from the senate nor a communication from state officers and is not entitled to be spread on the house journal as such .- H. J. 1912, 1st Ex. Sess. p. 74.
The communication in question appears to have been offered, not as a message or communication .to the house, but as a part of an explanation of a member's vote. As such, the member was entitled to have it spread on the journal.
221. The speaker is not called on to decide constitutional questions unless the matter involved is obviously in violation of the constitution .- H. J. 1912, 1st Ex. Sess. p. 137.
The question involved was whether a proposed amendment was covered by the governor's message authorizing legislation at the extra session. There being doubt, the speaker properly held that the house might consider the amendment.
222. A substitute identical in every particular with certain sections of a bill for which it was proposed to be substituted, was held not in order .- H. J. 1912, 2nd Ex. Sess. p. 78.
The object sought could be obtained by striking out of the original bill the sections not desired, thus leaving all that the substitute contained.
223. A bill having been amended upon reconsideration and then not passed, may be reconsidered a second time, the two questions reconsidered not being identical .- S. J. 1913, pp. 1921-22.
224. In computing the five days required by the constitution for a bill to be "in pos- session" of each house, the general rule of law may properly be applied, counting the day of the filing of the printed bill but not the day of final action, or vice versa. Both days cannot be counted .- S. J. 1913, p. 451.
225. The constitutional provision that a bill must be printed and in possession of each house five days before passage, does not apply to concurrent resolutions .- S. J. 1913, p. 449.
226. A bill is in possession of the senate as contemplated by Art. V, Sec. 22 of the constitution, from the time it is filed in the document room .- S. J. 1913, p. 449.
This decision has reference to a senate bill in the senate. The practice of each house is that a bill is not to be deemed in possession of the house other than the one in which it originates, until it has been duly passed by the house in which it was first introduced, and formally transmitted after such passage to the second house; and is not eligible to passage in such second house until it shall have been in the possession of that body, with power to take action with reference thereto, for at least five days .- S. J. 1913, p. 1904.
680
MICHIGAN MANUAL.
227. A bill was read a third time and passed on the same day that it passed the committee of the whole. After the passage of the bill the point of order was raised that the action of the house in passing the bill contravened house rule 59, which provides that "the third reading shall be on a day subsequent to that on which it receives its second reading or as passed by the committee of the whole," and that therefore this action of the house in reference to the bill was not in order. The speaker ruled that the action of the house was simply an infringement of the rules and violated no pro- vision of the constitution; that to be sustained the point of order should have been raised before the bill was read a third time and passed.
The speaker could not have ruled otherwise. The point of order not being raised at the time, nor any objection being made by any member, the action of the house amounted to a suspension of the rule by unanimous consent, and no question could be raised after the action was taken.
