Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR56 designates a set of bills as the Senate's special order of business for the 12th legislative day, giving them priority and continuing sunset reviews for many regulatory boards.

What This Bill Does

It lists HB45 through HB69, SB158, and HB110 as the special order of business for the 12th day, meaning they will be debated and acted on before other items. Many of these bills would extend the sunset review dates for a wide range of professional boards and commissions (often to October 1, 2025, with some exceptions to October 1, 2023 or other dates). SB158 is included and concerns creating a database to support law enforcement with civil protections and background checks. The resolution does not itself change the bills’ text but sets their calendar priority and the extended sunset review timelines.

• Regulated professions and licensees governed by the listed boards/commissions (e.g., medical, pharmacy, engineering, nursing, real estate, etc.), whose sunset review periods are extended, plus law enforcement agencies and potential background-check processes impacted by SB158.

Key Provisions
