Bill > SR566

This resolution proposes changes to Senate Rules 84 and 85, which govern the process of ending debate on a bill or other matter before the Senate. Specifically, it amends the rules to require that a motion to "put the previous question" (a procedural move to stop debate and force a vote) must be supported by at least two-thirds of the senators elected, rather than a simple majority. This change also means that if the motion to end debate is not supported by at least two-thirds of the senators, further consideration of the matter will continue. The previous question is a formal way to end discussion and move to a vote on the main issue, amendments, or a motion to send the matter to a committee.
