How Resolutions Move Through General Convention

To streamline the process for accepting amendments from the floor, the General Convention Office has created a web form that any deputy or bishop can fill out.

Floor Amendment Submission Form

You can find the rosters of the Legislative Committees at the below link. Once at the page click on any group to see its roster. For each committee one house has been designated as the “house of initial action.” This is the house where the legislation will be initiated, for anything referred to that committee. See the link to this list below as well. The House of Deputies also have information about Legislative Committees, including committee descriptions, at their Legislative Committees page linked below.
