Bill > SR0001

This resolution amends various Senate rules to clarify procedures and definitions within the Utah Senate. Key changes include specifying that if a motion to adopt Senate rules at the beginning of a new Legislature receives a majority vote but not the required two-thirds, the rules from the previous session will apply, and the presiding officer will announce this. It also clarifies the duties of the Senate president regarding financial approvals, allows for extraordinary sessions to be called by proclamation, and modifies rules for admitting individuals to the Senate chamber, including guests of senators. The resolution also defines "minority leader" as the highest-ranking individual leading the minority party and "minority party" as the party with the second-most members, and refines rules regarding substitute legislation, executive office confirmation committees, obtaining the floor, points of order, consideration of bills, consent calendars, and procedures in a committee of the whole.
