The Senate Resolution S.R. 9, offered by Senator Baruth, proposes an amendment to the temporary Rule 9B(b) concerning electronic participation in Senate sessions. The amendment extends the duration of this temporary rule, which allows for electronic participation, from its original expiration date of March 11, 2025, to a new date of January 7, 2026.
This resolution reflects the Senate's commitment to adapting its procedures to accommodate electronic participation, ensuring that members can engage in sessions remotely for an extended period. The change aims to enhance accessibility and flexibility in legislative processes, particularly in light of ongoing considerations for public health and safety.
