"Amending the rules of the House of Delegates, relating to requiring consideration of jobs impact statement of proposed legislation."

Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the Standing Rules of the House of Delegates be amended by adding thereto a new rule as follows:
"Jobs Impact Statement.
95c. Prior to consideration, by the House or by any committee thereof, of any bill which either increases or decreases the revenue or fiscal liability of individual citizens, employers, the State or any county, municipality or other subdivision of the State or in any manner changes or modifies any existing tax or rate of taxation or in any manner proposes to enact, amend or repeal rules governing individual citizens, employers, the State or any county, municipality or other subdivision of the State, such bill shall have attached thereto a jobs impact statement, which 'jobs impact statement' shall conform to the requirements as to form and content prescribed by the 'Jobs Impact Statement Manual,' prepared and adopted by the Committee on Rules to govern preparation of jobs impact statements to bills introduced in the House of Delegates.
Nothing herein shall prohibit consideration of such a bill, if in the opinion of the chairman of the committee to which the bill has been referred, or in the opinion of the Speaker, a reasonable time has elapsed since a jobs impact statement was requested and no jobs impact statement or an incomplete jobs impact statement has been furnished.
It shall be the responsibility of the legislator introducing a bill to obtain such statement when required. Such statement shall be attached to the bill when filed for introduction, if at all possible, and shall accompany any bill requiring such statement when the same is reported from committee.
The jackets of all measures with jobs impact statements attached or requiring such statements shall have the words 'Jobs Impact Statement' or the initials 'JS' clearly stamped or endorsed thereon.
Rule 95c, as amended herein, shall not take effect until January 12, 2011.
No Act shall be void or voidable for noncompliance with this rule."
