STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27762 / SR107
This proposal makes a number of revisions to Senate Rules. First, it repeals Senate Rule 52 regarding mailings.
It then recodifies Rule 53 to become the new Senate Rule 52 and recodifies Senate Rule 54 as Senate Rule
53. It then revises the new Senate Rule 52 to provide that a complaint may allege a material violation of the
Rules of the Senate. In addition, this provides that certain private communications with members of majority
or minority leadership do not violate the requirement of confidentiality.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact of this proposal because the revisions only affect rules governing procedural matters
within the Senate.
