2026 Special Session I operating resolution.
This bill is a procedural resolution that establishes the framework and operating rules for a special legislative session scheduled for 2026. It does not create new laws, allocate funds, or change policies for the public but instead sets the internal procedures for how the legislature will function during that specific session. The measure was recently referred to the Committee on Rules, where it awaits further review before any potential action is taken.

MINOR
The bill transitioned from an 'Introduced' draft to an 'Enrolled' final version, primarily involving formatting adjustments to align with official state printing standards. The core policy content regarding Senate funding, member compensation, and recess procedures remained substantively unchanged, with only minor text reflowing and the addition of a final resolution identifier.
TECHNICAL
Replaced the 'Introduced' header and metadata with an 'Enrolled' header, indicating the bill has passed all legislative steps and is ready for the Governor's signature.
Adjusted line breaks and spacing throughout the document to conform to official state printing formats, which altered the visual layout but not the legal text.
Inserted the identifier 'SR2001ER' at the end of the text to denote the bill as an Enrolled Senate Resolution.
