Summary

Session

Regular Session 2019

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

The Senate adopts a special order calendar designating a prioritized list of bills to be considered as the Senate's main business for the fourteenth legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, it makes the listed bills the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of for the fourteenth legislative day. It identifies the specific bills and sponsors that are given priority, shifting scheduling and debate focus away from other business during that window. It does not change the content of the bills themselves; it only controls when and in what order they are considered.

Who It Affects

• Senators and legislative staff who must address the prioritized bills
• The sponsors and proponents of the listed bills whose legislation is designated as priority
• Other lawmakers and government operations impacted by the scheduling shift
• Stakeholders affected by the listed bills (e.g., child care workers and facilities for SB277; municipalities for HB168; taxpayers and charities for SB124/SB153; courts and related agencies for SB198/SB216)
