The Senate Resolution introduced by Martin on April 14, 2025, establishes a temporary rule governing the consideration of appropriation bills for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025, as well as any amendments related to supplemental appropriations for prior fiscal years. The resolution stipulates that any amendments to the budget must be presented during the second or third consideration of the bills and cannot propose increased spending from the General Fund or special funds unless they are balanced by corresponding reductions elsewhere. Additionally, any amendment that affects multiple bills must include a "statement of intent" detailing how it will maintain a balanced budget.

The temporary rule can only be suspended by a majority vote of the Senate members and will remain in effect until a General Appropriation Act for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, is enacted. This resolution aims to ensure fiscal responsibility and maintain a balanced budget while allowing for necessary amendments to the budgetary process.
