Order considering House Bill, No. 5280 during the Senate Session of April 9, 2026

This bill is a procedural order that schedules House Bill 5280, a 2026 state budget proposal, for immediate consideration in the Senate on April 9, 2026. It temporarily suspends standard Senate rules to allow the bill to be debated right away with a specific amended version prepared by the Ways and Means Committee. The order also sets the ground rules for debate, permitting new amendments during the second reading while allowing further changes to those amendments during the third reading. This measure directly affects the legislative process by accelerating the timeline for reviewing the budget bill rather than changing the budget itself.
