MississippiMississippi lawmakers could cosponsor measures after passage
The proposed rule would let Mississippi lawmakers cosponsor measures from the other chamber after it passes them.
What it does
A lawmaker in the chamber where a measure did not begin may be added as a cosponsor after that chamber passes it.
Argument forLawmakers in the other chamber could show support for a measure by joining as cosponsors after that chamber passes it.
Argument againstBecause lawmakers could be added only after the other chamber passes a measure, their support may not be visible while that chamber debates it.
More detail
A member of the other chamber may be added as a cosponsor after that chamber passes the measure. This applies to bills, joint resolutions, and concurrent resolutions in the Mississippi Legislature. The measure must first be sent to the chamber where it did not begin. Adding a cosponsor is allowed, not required. This may happen after the measure is sent to the other chamber and that chamber passes it.
