A resolution to amend the Standing Rules of the Senate.
This Senate resolution (SR 20) amends Rule 1.114 of the Senate's Standing Rules to clarify procedures for enrolling bills and presenting them to the Governor. It specifies that the Secretary of the Senate must obtain receipts verifying exact dates/times when bills are deposited with the Governor and later filed with the Secretary of State. The resolution also details when bills can be enrolled during Senate recesses and clarifies handling for bills with "immediate effect" provisions. This procedural change directly affects Senate staff managing bill enrollment and documentation, ensuring consistent administrative tracking of bills after passage.
