House Rules Committee doesn’t take up flag resolution in morning meeting

posted in: Mississippi News | 0

It appears that a potential vote to change the Mississippi state flag will have to wait a little while longer. 

The House Rules Committee, which is where a resolution to suspend the rules of the legislature would originate, met this morning without taking up such a measure. 

The resolution must clear the committee before heading to the House floor, where it must receive a two-thirds vote in order to be sent over to the Senate. If the two-thirds majority is achieved, debate on the actual bill can begin.  To pass the bill, a simple majority of the House and Senate would be required.

Both chambers are currently in session.

This is a developing story.
