SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 566
NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE CHANGE
Notice is hereby given by the Senator from the 1st
District of the one day notice required by rule of intent
to put a motion to adopt the following rule change:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the One Hundred Third
General Assembly, Second Regular Session, that Senate Rules 84
and 85 be amended to read as follows:
"Rule 84. The previous question shall be in this form:
"Shall the main question be now put?". It shall only be
admitted on written demand of ten senators, and sustained by
a vote of [a majority] at least two-thirds of the senators
elected, and in effect shall be put without debate, and
bring the senate to direct vote upon a motion to commit, if
such motion shall have been made; and if this motion does
not prevail, then upon amendments, and then upon the main
question. On demand for the previous question, a call of
the senate shall be in order, but after [a majority] at
least two-thirds of the senators elected have sustained such
a motion, no call shall be in order prior to the decision on
the main question.
Rule 85. On motion of the previous question, no debate
shall be allowed and all incidental questions of order
arising after the motion is made for the previous question,
and pending such motion, shall be decided on appeal or
otherwise without debate; if, on a vote for the previous
question, the motion is not sustained by [a majority] at
least two-thirds of the senators elected, then the further
consideration of the subject matter shall be in order.".
