Summary

SR94 is a Senate resolution that places a list of bills on a special order of business, giving them priority for discussion over the next 22 days, including postponing the third-grade literacy retention requirement under SB94.

What This Bill Does

This resolution designates the listed bills to be the special, paramount, and continuing order of business, taking precedence over all other matters until disposed of for the 22nd Legislative day.
