SPECIAL ORDER CALENDAR

Summary

SR72 is a Senate resolution that designates five bills as the special order of business for the 18th legislative day, giving them priority over other work.

What This Bill Does

It immediately sets SB269, SB105, SB32, SB5, and SB57 as the special and paramount items for the 18th day, taking precedence over regular or unfinished business. It specifies the order in which these bills will be considered. It does not change any policy in the bills themselves; it only affects when and in what order they are discussed.

Who It Affects

• Emergency medical service providers and health care insurers, who would be affected by SB269's balance-billing restrictions and minimum reimbursement rules.
• Counties and municipalities, affected by SB105's requirement to publicly post financial statements, audits, expenditures, and budgets online.
• Veterans in households where VA benefits are the sole income, who would receive exemptions from solid waste collection fees under SB32.
• Public K-12 schools and students, affected by SB5's requirement for weekly broadcasting of the Star-Spangled Banner (and the related proposed statewide constitutional amendment).
• SNAP beneficiaries and the Department of Human Resources, affected by SB57's proposed prohibition on purchasing soda and candy with SNAP benefits.

Key Provisions

• Designates SB269, SB105, SB32, SB5, and SB57 as the special order of business for the eighteenth legislative day.
• Establishes that these five items have priority over the regular order and any pending or unfinished business on that day.
• For each listed bill, indicates the broad topics to be considered (EMS balance billing and reimbursement; online financial disclosures by local governments; veteran-income exemptions from fees; weekly Star-Spangled Banner broadcast and related amendment; SNAP benefit restrictions).
