Rule 10. Every bill shall be read on three separate days: PROVIDED, That this rule may be temporarily suspended at any time by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members present; and that on and after the fifth day prior to the day of adjournment sine die of any session, as determined pursuant to Article II, Section 12 of the state Constitution or concurrent resolution, or on and after the third day prior to the day a bill must be reported from the house as established by concurrent resolution, this rule may be suspended by a majority vote.
(A) FIRST READING. The first reading of a bill shall be by title only, unless a majority of the members present demand a reading in full.
After the first reading the bill shall be referred to an appropriate committee.
Upon being reported out of committee, all bills shall be referred to the rules committee, unless otherwise ordered by the house.
The rules committee may, by majority vote, refer any bill in its possession to a committee for further consideration. Such referral shall be reported to the house and entered in the journal under the fifth order of business.
(B) SECOND READING. Upon second reading, the bill number and short title and the last line of the bill shall be read unless a majority of the members present shall demand its reading in full. The bill shall be subject to amendment section by section. No amendment shall be considered by the house until it has been sent to the chief clerk's desk in writing, distributed to the desk of each member and read by the clerk. All amendments adopted during second reading shall be securely fastened to the original bill. All amendments rejected by the house shall be passed to the minute clerk, and the journal shall show the disposition of such amendments.
When no further amendments shall be offered, the speaker shall declare the bill has passed its second reading.
(C) SUBSTITUTE BILLS. When a committee reports a substitute for an original bill with the recommendation that the substitute bill do pass, it shall be in order to read the substitute the first time and have the same printed. ((A bill for which a substitute has been recommended by a standing committee may not be subject to another substitute report by a committee that subsequently considers it.

Bills on the second reading suspension calendar shall not be subject to amendment or substitution except as recommended in the committee report. When a bill is before the house on the suspension calendar, the question shall be to adopt the committee recommendations and advance the bill to third reading. If the question fails to receive a two-thirds vote of the members present, the bill shall be referred to the rules committee for second reading.
(F) HOUSE RESOLUTIONS. House resolutions shall be filed with the chief clerk who shall transmit them to the rules committee. If a rules committee meeting is not scheduled to occur prior to a time necessitated by the purpose of a house resolution, the majority leader and minority leader by agreement may waive transmission to the rules committee to permit consideration of the resolution by the house.

Standing Rules Amendment
Sec. III. HR 4608 Rule 30 is amended to read as follows:
Rule 30. Any standing rule may be rescinded or changed by a majority vote of the members elected: PROVIDED, That the proposed change or changes be submitted at least one day in advance in writing to the members together with notice of the consideration thereof.

Legislative Mailings
Sec. IV. HR 4608 is amended by adding a new rule to read as follows:
Rule 32. The house of representatives directs the house executive rules committee to adopt procedures and guidelines to ensure that all legislative mailings at public expense are for legitimate legislative purposes. With respect to member mailings to constituents, these policies and guidelines shall ensure that:
(A) All mailings are subject to applicable provisions of the code of ethics established in Rules 1 through 9 of the joint rules of the legislature.
(B) Within the twelve months preceding the expiration of a member's term of office, identical mailings are limited as follows: One mailing mailed within thirty days after the start of the regular legislative session and one mailing mailed within sixty days after the end of the regular legislative session. For purposes of this rule, an identical mailing is a mailing of identical content in excess of two hundred pieces not mailed in response to a constituent contact.
(C) Within the twelve months preceding the expiration of a member's term of office, individual letters are limited as follows: A member may mail to an individual constituent a letter or other information, including the member's opinion, on a matter relevant to legislative business if the member has a reasonable belief that the constituent is interested in that matter.
(D) The total cost of each member's mailings, including production costs, printing costs, and postage, are limited by an annual expenditure level established by the house executive rules committee.
Representative Peery moved adoption of the resolution. Representative Peery spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.
Representative Peery yielded to a question by Representative Ballard.
Representative Ballard: Representative Peery, what is the effect of Rule 32 contained in the resolution in relation to RCW 42.17.132?
Representative Peery: Thank you. The resolution is adopted under authority of Article II of our State Constitution and in particular under Section (9) of Article II. Under the Constitution, the Legislature has inherent authority to adopt rules governing its own proceedings. Where RCW 42.17.132 conflicts with these rules, these rules supersede the statute. I hasten to add however, that these rules are wholly consistent with what I believe to be the intent of RCW 42.17.132, and that is to limit mass-mailings at public expense in election years, but to permit the Legislature to carry on its essential and constitutional business.
Representative Ballard spoke in favor of the resolution.
The Speaker stated the question before the House to be final adoption of Resolution No. 4678.
