Regular Session 2019

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR43 designates HB289 as the Senate’s special order for the tenth legislative day, giving it priority over other business.

What This Bill Does

It sets HB289 as the special, paramount, and continuing order of business for the tenth legislative day only, taking precedence over all other matters until it is disposed of. It identifies HB289 as sponsored by Representative Baker and notes its subject: adding a new Sec. 36-25-1.3 to exempt economic development professionals from the definition of lobbyist in certain circumstances. Because it is placed on the special order calendar, HB289 would be considered before other topics on that day. The resolution itself does not enact the exemption, but points to HB289 as the bill that would make the change if passed.
