Bill > SR22

This resolution amends Senate Rule 14 by adding a new subsection that establishes a mandatory timeline for committee action on bills. Specifically, the resolution requires that any bill referred to a standing committee must either receive a public hearing or be formally considered by that committee within 60 calendar days from the date the bill is initially referred to the committee. This provision aims to ensure timely review and potential advancement of proposed legislation, preventing bills from being indefinitely delayed or "bottled up" in committee without any formal action. By setting a clear 60-day deadline, the resolution seeks to increase legislative transparency and accountability by compelling committees to take some form of substantive action on referred bills within a reasonable timeframe.
