Relative to the Standing Rules of the Senate for the 2025–26 Regular Session.

Senate Resolution 4 establishes the operational rules for California's Senate during the 2025-26 legislative session. It sets daily meeting times (9:00 a.m. except weekends), requires senators to obtain leave for absences (with penalties for unexcused absence), and details the order of business including roll calls, committee reports, and bill consideration. The resolution also defines roles for Senate officers like the President pro Tempore and Sergeant at Arms, and outlines procedures for executive sessions. As a procedural resolution, it governs internal Senate operations rather than substantive policy.
