What bill did the House Rules Committee consider Monday night immediately after rejecting the bipartisan ethics reform proposal? 

Sen. Matt Bartle's anti-porn bill (SB586), legislation almost identical to the legislation at the center of a federal grand jury investigation.

The Star's Jason Noble reports today that the House Rules Committee has refused to take up the legislation passed by the House's new bipartisan ethics committee, and said ethics committee is expected to strip all language related to campaign finance limits, committee transfers and other new rules. 

Multiple sources have told Prime Buzz that a House committee will strip from the ethics bill all measures relating to campaign finance.

That would include campaign contribution limits, prohibitions on transfers between campaign committees and a number of other items that have been under debate for months. Stripping the measures in committee would allow legislative leaders to rule out amendments concerning campaign finance in floor debates to come.

In January, Speaker Ron Richard promised "he would support any recommendation that comes out of the bipartisan committee."  But now...not so much.
