A new House rule would create a formal process allowing the primary sponsor of a bill or resolution to officially withdraw it — known as "abandoning" the legislation — at any point before it passes the Senate on its final vote, by submitting a written form to the House chief clerk. Once abandoned, the bill would be permanently killed (its enacting clause struck) and could not be revived, though the sponsor could still introduce a new, identical bill later. The rule requires the House presiding officer to publicly announce the abandonment within one legislative day and requires legislative staff to note the withdrawal on the bill's official webpage.
