Title
Senate, Special Order Calendar
Summary

SR61 designates certain bills to be the Senate's special order of business, to be prioritized over all other matters until disposed of for the fourteenth Legislative day only.

What This Bill Does

It creates a special order calendar listing SB275, SB279, SB254, SB175, SB238, SB282, SB17, SB220, SB178, SB57, SB167, SB258, SB97, HB219, and HB99 as the priority bills. Those bills will take precedence over all other business and be considered before anything else until they are disposed of during the fourteenth Legislative day. The resolution does not change the content of the bills themselves; it only affects the order in which they are handled. The goal is to move these bills through the process quickly while this special order is in effect.

Who It Affects
  • Senators and legislative staff, who must schedule and consider the listed bills as top priority during the specified period.
  • Stakeholders and members of the public with interests in the topics of the listed bills, whose proposals would receive prioritized attention during the fourteenth Legislative day.
Key Provisions
  • Establishes the listed bills as the Senate's special, paramount, continuing order of business and gives them precedence over all other matters until disposed of for the fourteenth legislative day.
  • Applies only to the fourteenth legislative day; after that day, normal legislative order resumes unless another resolution changes the calendar.
