SENATE RULES 104TH
This is a procedural bill (Senate Resolution 4) that adopts the standard rules governing Senate operations for Illinois' 104th General Assembly. It primarily affects all Illinois State Senators, committee members, and Senate leadership by establishing the procedural framework for legislative business. The resolution incorporates nearly identical definitions and rules from the previous (103rd) Assembly, including terms like "Chair," "Committee," "Majority," and "Minority Leader" to guide Senate procedures. It does not create new policy or impact citizens, as it solely sets internal rules for how the Senate conducts its work.
