20 bills and resolutions with the office of the Chief Clerk of the House during
21 the first ten days of December. With the approval of the Speaker, the Chief
22 Clerk shall receive such bills and resolutions, cause them to be placed in
23 proper form, assign a number for introduction, cause them to be reproduced and
24 delivered to every member of the Legislature, and provide for such other dis-
25 tribution as may be deemed necessary and desirable. The Speaker need not
26 accept any bill or resolution that does not comply with the requirements of
27 Joint Rule 18. On the first day of the next regular session, the Speaker shall
28 assign the prefiled bills to standing committees.
29 Upon prefiling, such bills and resolutions become the property of the
30 House, and may not thereafter be withdrawn except pursuant to the rules of the
31 House. Prefiled bills and resolutions shall be considered introduced, read for
32 the first time, and printed on the first day of the next regular session, not-
33 withstanding the provisions of Rule 43(1).
