Senate Resolution No. 2 establishes the operational rules for the Senate during the 2025 and 2026 sessions, detailing the roles and responsibilities of key officials, including the President of the Senate and the President Pro Tempore. It outlines the procedures for maintaining order, handling quorum, and managing the legislative agenda, including the entry and processing of bills and resolutions. The resolution emphasizes orderly debate, limiting speeches on the same question, and includes protocols for reconsideration of motions and addressing disturbances. It also provides guidelines for contested election results, ensuring transparency and efficiency in Senate operations.

Furthermore, the resolution specifies the election and appointment processes for leadership positions and committee assignments, with the majority and minority leaders elected by their respective party members. It details the order of business for Senate sessions, including the handling of petitions, communications, and voting procedures, while also allowing for remote voting. The resolution mandates that Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure will govern parliamentary practices, with Senate rules taking precedence over joint rules. Changes to these rules require a two-thirds vote, and all members are expected to participate in voting unless excused.
