Bill > SR567

This resolution proposes an amendment to Senate Rule 52, which governs the procedural timeline for bills in the Senate. The change aims to standardize the waiting period for various stages of bill progression. Specifically, it mandates that Senate bills reported from a committee must be laid on the table (meaning they are available for consideration but not immediately acted upon) for one day before they can be perfected and ordered printed. Similarly, Senate bills that have been perfected and House bills reported from committee must also lie on the table for one day before they can undergo their third reading. Furthermore, Senate bills that have received amendments from the House, and conference committee substitutes (which are revised versions of bills agreed upon by a conference committee to resolve differences between House and Senate versions), will both require a one-day waiting period on the table before the Senate can take action on them. The overall effect is to ensure a one-day delay at several key junctures in the legislative process for bills.
