As Speaker of the House, Rep. Dillon was almost certainly aware of or involved in the unconstitutional handling of Rep. Stahl's motion to discharge HJR-NN, a joint resolution to put before the voters a parent's rights amendment.

Rather than putting the motion before the entire House, as required by the Michigan Constitution, Dillon allowed the Judiciary committee to kill Representative Stahl's motion to discharge HJR-NN, violating both Michigan's Constitution and Michigan House Rules.

" Rep. Stahl moved that the Committee on Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of House Joint Resolution NN."

Michigan's constitution, covering motions to discharge from committee, reads in part:

"Each house, except as otherwise provided in this constitution, shall choose its own officers and determine the rules of its proceedings, but shall not adopt any rule that will prevent a majority of the members elected thereto and serving therein from discharging a committee from the further consideration of any measure ..."

Michigan House Rules are constitutionally appropriate, providing under Rule 42 for a vote to discharge among "a majority of the Members elected to and serving in the House":

"(3)     Nothing in these rules shall prevent a majority of the Members elected to and
serving in the House from discharging a committee from further consideration of any measure.
(See Const 1963, Art 4 § 16) A notice of one session day shall be given of a motion to
discharge any such committee, the notice to be in writing and entered upon the House Journal. If
a committee of the House is discharged from further consideration of a bill, the bill shall be
placed on the order of Second Reading."

And further for motions to discharge must be handled each session under Rule 58:

"Always in Order; Not Debatable.
      Rule 58. (1) The following motions are not debatable:
      (a)    Adjourn;
      (b)    Call of the House;
      .....
      (b)    Discharge a committee;
      ...."

Yet the only responsive action was a vote in the committee that is being discharged to postpone action within that committee itself for one day.

"9/9/2008    HJ 72 Pg. 2115    motion to discharge committee postponed for day"
