Regular Session 2013

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR58 designates a special order calendar, making six listed bills priority business for the sixteenth legislative day.

What This Bill Does

It names six bills (HB57 on abortion requirements, SB94 renaming Drake State Technical College, SB67 removing an unfunded-mandates exception for local boards of education, SB53 a Cosmetology Board and regulation overhaul, HB101 Administrative Procedure Act rulemaking and transparency updates, and SB286 lifetime concealed pistol permits) as the Senate's special order of business for the sixteenth legislative day. These bills take precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of on that day. The resolution itself doesn't change policy; any changes would come from the bills if they become law.
