The Senate Resolution S.R. 9, offered by Senator Baruth, proposes an amendment to the temporary Rule 9B(b) regarding electronic participation in Senate sessions. The amendment extends the duration of this temporary rule, allowing for electronic participation to remain in effect until January 7, 2026, instead of the previously set date of March 11, 2025.
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.
