Order considering Senate Bill, No. 2720 during the Senate Session of March 19, 2026
This bill is a procedural order that schedules a specific piece of legislation for immediate discussion on March 19, 2026. It temporarily sets aside standard Senate rules to allow the Senate to consider a bill banning the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in pet shops alongside a related financial amendment. The order also establishes that any changes made to this bill during the session must be approved by a simple majority vote rather than requiring a supermajority. This measure does not change the law itself but rather determines the timing and voting requirements for debating the proposed pet sales ban.
