Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR99 creates a special order calendar that places a specific list of Senate bills on the top priority for the Eighteenth Legislative Day.

What This Bill Does

It designates the listed bills as the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, giving them precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of for the Eighteenth Legislative Day only. The orders apply to the bills in the sequence named by the resolution. The included topics cover a wide range of policy areas, such as children’s advocacy funding, domestic violence, health care, transportation, taxation, and economic development. This is strictly a scheduling decision and does not change the substance of the bills themselves.

Who It Affects
