A resolution providing for sufficient time for legislation to be read.

S.Res. 18 requires the U.S. Senate to wait one session day for every 20 pages of a bill, resolution, treaty, or other legislative measure before it can be considered. This means a 20-page bill must wait one day, a 40-page bill two days, and any remaining pages under 20 count as an additional full day. Senators can raise a point of order if the waiting period is skipped, and overriding this objection requires a three-fifths vote of the Senate. The rule applies to all legislation introduced in the Senate and aims to ensure members have adequate time to review text before voting.
