Regular Session 2021

Title

Senate, Special Order Calendar

Summary

SR75 sets a special order calendar that gives a specific list of Senate bills priority over all other business until they are disposed of on the seventeenth legislative day.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the resolution makes the listed Senate bills the special, paramount, and continuing order of business and requires them to take precedence over all other matters until they are disposed of, but only for the seventeenth legislative day. It does not change any law itself; it only changes the legislative schedule and priority of debate for those bills. The list and order are specified by the Standing Committee on Rules and presented as the first-read item in March 2021.
