House Bills killed in process

In rare situations, dead bills can resurrected with supermajority votes. Bills tabled in committee are often headed toward death but aren't classified as such until they miss a procedural deadline.

House resolutions and voter referendum proposals

House resolutions pass with approval from the House, while joint resolutions and voter referendum proposals need approval from the House and Senate. Resolutions and referendum proposals don't require approval from the governor.
