SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR66 creates a special order calendar for the 21st legislative day, setting specific bills and activities to be prioritized over regular business.

What This Bill Does

It establishes a Special Order Calendar that puts certain items at the top of the day’s agenda. It designates the types of business to be prioritized (Introduction of Bills, House Messages, Reports from Standing Committees, Motions and Resolutions, Uncontested Local Legislation) and lists particular Senate and House bills to be taken up under this special order.
