Providing temporary rules for the Senate until permanent rules are adopted.
This Senate resolution establishes temporary rules for the Kansas Senate to use during the 2025 regular session until permanent rules are created. It directs that the existing rules from the 2021-2024 legislative period serve as the default framework for the upcoming session. The resolution also specifies a new standing committee structure, including a Committee on Organization, Calendar and Rules led by the Senate President, and lists fifteen other committees with their assigned member counts. These provisions ensure the Senate has a defined operating procedure and committee system while waiting for the adoption of new permanent rules.
