Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
Section 1.  The House rules are amended by adding a new rule to read:
"RULE 55.1. Executive Review. – The Governor may request executive review of any public bill after the bill is ordered enrolled and before the bill is ratified, provided that the Senate has a similar rule.  A request for executive review shall state its rationale and shall be attached to the bill in the same manner as a fiscal note.  When the Governor requests executive review, the Speaker shall delay ratification for five calendar days from the date that the Principal Clerk receives the request."
Sec. 2.  The House rules are amended by adding a new rule to read:
"RULE 36.3. Political Committee Report. – Any political committee, as defined in G.S. 163-278.6(14), that influences or attempts to influence legislative action on a bill, whether separately or through a lobbyist, shall, before the second reading of the bill, file with the Principal Clerk and the Chair of the Legislative Ethics Committee a list of contributions made by that political committee to each member of the House in each of the preceding three years.  The Principal Clerk shall attach the information filed under this rule to the bill in the same manner as a fiscal note."
Sec. 3.  House Rule 38 reads as rewritten:
"RULE 38.  Reports on Appropriation and Revenue Bills. – (a)	All standing committees, other than the Standing Committee on Appropriations, when favorably reporting any bill or resolution which:
1.	carries an appropriation from the State; or
2.	requires or will require in the future substantial additional State monies from the General Fund or Highway Fund to implement its provisions shall indicate same in the report, and said bill or resolution shall immediately be referred to the Standing Committee on Appropriations for a further report before being acted upon by the House.
(b)	All standing committees, other than the Standing Committee on Finance, when favorably reporting any bill which in any way or manner raises revenue, reduces revenue, levies a tax, authorizes the levying of a tax, an assessment, or a fee, or authorizes the issue of bonds or notes, whether public, public-local, or private, shall indicate same in the report, and said bill shall immediately be referred to the Standing Committee on Finance for a further report before being acted upon by the House.
(c)	Action on Amendment Before Re-Referral.  If any standing committee recommends adoption of an amendment or committee substitute of a bill which, under the rules of the House must be referred to the Standing Committees on Appropriations or Standing Committee on Finance, the amendment or committee substitute shall be considered and, if adopted, the amendment or substitute engrossed before the bill is re-referred."
Sec. 4.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
