Adopting the senate's emergency parliamentary rules of the sixty-ninth legislature.

This Senate Resolution (SR 8601) establishes emergency operational rules for the Washington State Senate during the 2025 legislative session, primarily due to ongoing public health considerations. It mandates remote voting and hybrid floor sessions, requires compliance with 2023 Senate Session Guidelines (including mask policies and social distancing), and directs all committee meetings to be held remotely unless the Rules Committee meets in person with approval. The rules also specify procedures for public access (via streaming), electronic submission of amendments, and committee voting via recorded roll calls. These rules directly affect all Senate members, staff, and committee operations during the 2025 session.
