Senate Resolution No. by Senator Morris proposes an amendment to Senate Rule 13.15, which governs the subpoena power of interim committees in the Louisiana Senate. The resolution seeks to eliminate the requirement for a special order from the 19th Judicial District Court before an interim subpoena can be issued. Instead, it allows standing and joint committees, with the written approval of the Senate President, to issue subpoenas for hearings, witness testimonies, and the production of documents as necessary for their investigations.

The revised rule maintains that a majority approval from the committee members and the Senate President is still required for issuing subpoenas. Additionally, it preserves the committee's authority to hold individuals in contempt and to prosecute for offenses such as refusal to testify or perjury. This amendment aims to streamline the process for interim committees to conduct their investigations without the additional judicial oversight previously mandated.
