The Senate Resolution No. 51 for the November Special Session of 2025 establishes that the Senate will operate under the same rules as those in effect during the 2025 regular session, with specific amendments outlined in the resolution. Key changes include modifications to Rules 7, 9, 19, 29, and 30, which address the process for transmitting bills between the House and Senate, the order of business, the types of motions allowed during debate, and the procedure for filing amendments.
Additionally, a new Rule 37 is introduced, which restricts the types of bills and substantive resolutions that can be considered during this Special Session. Only those bills and resolutions that are certified and specified in the Joint Rules for the Special Session will be accepted, along with resolutions related to the rules, journal printing, and expenses of the session. This resolution aims to streamline legislative processes and ensure clarity in the functioning of the Senate during the special session.
