The bill establishes a temporary Senate committee on Rules, appointed by President Karen E. Spilka, to enhance public engagement and transparency in the Senate's operations. The committee will be chaired by Joan B. Lovely, with Cindy F. Friedman serving as vice chair, and includes members William N. Brownsberger, Joanne M. Comerford, Paul R. Feeney, Robyn K. Kennedy, and Pavel M. Payano.
Additionally, the committee is tasked with addressing specific issues raised in the Auditors letter dated January 3, 2025, and examining Chapter 250 of the Acts of 2024, which presents significant constitutional questions. The focus on these matters is intended to ensure that the Senate's rules and procedures are effectively reformed to better serve the public interest.
