A Resolution adopting Ethical Conduct Rules of the Senate.
SR 1 is a procedural resolution adopting the Pennsylvania Senate's Ethical Conduct Rules for the 2025-2026 legislative sessions. It directly affects Senators and Senate employees by prohibiting campaign activities during Senate work time or in Senate offices using Senate resources. Key provisions require campaign work to occur only during "own time" (non-work hours), ban using Senate equipment or facilities for campaigns, and define campaign activities like fundraising or preparing campaign materials. The rules also clarify exceptions for minor campaign-related tasks during official duties and establish requirements for employees who reduce Senate hours for campaign work.
