All recommendations of the committee are provided on the Consent Calendar to be considered
by the House of Delegates as one action to approve the Consent Calendar. A delegate may
ask that a resolution be extracted for individual consideration by the House of
Delegates. Extracted resolutions will be considered in numerical order from lowest to highest
resolution number.
The Resolutions Committee can recommend the following actions: Reaffirm; Adopt; Reject;
Refer; Amend; or Adopt In Lieu Of.
Printed at the end of this report for information only are the resolutions in the form as
recommended by the committee. If the committee recommends amending the original
statement, the amendments are shown by striking through the original language and capitalizing
the new language (example: one TWO). An Adopt In Lieu Of resolution will be identified in the
title as Adopt In Lieu Of Resolution xx-yyyy and the new text will be in bold type. Resolutions
that have been replaced by an Adopt In Lieu Of will be printed after the Adopt In Lieu Of with the
original language stricken since the originals are no longer pending before the House. Should
any committee recommendation be extracted and the recommendation not accepted, it is then
in order for any delegate to propose consideration of the original resolution.

recommends retaining policy 33-2013.
