Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR48 is a Senate resolution that sets a special order calendar, making a specific list of Senate bills the prioritized business for the Twelfth Legislative Day.

What This Bill Does

It designates certain SBs as the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of on the Twelfth Legislative Day. It does not change the content of the bills themselves, but determines the order and timing of their consideration by the Senate. The listed bills cover topics such as administrative rulemaking, motor vehicle safety, economic incentives for relocating call centers, public safety benefits, licensure for genetic counselors, wine and beer festival regulation, and pharmacy substitutions; actual policy changes would occur only if those bills pass.

Who It Affects
