The Senate Resolution introduced by Senator 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 from prior fiscal years. The rule stipulates that amendments to the budget can only be considered during the second or third readings of the appropriation bills. Furthermore, any proposed amendments that would increase spending from the General Fund or special funds must be accompanied by sufficient revisions to ensure that the overall budget remains balanced, based on current and projected revenues. If an amendment affects multiple bills, it must include a "statement of intent" detailing how the changes will maintain a balanced budget.

Additionally, the resolution allows for the temporary rule to be suspended only by a majority vote of the Senate members. The rule is set to expire once 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 appropriation bills.
