Senate Rules Resolution - Amendments to Senate Rules

This Senate Rules Resolution (SR 1) updates internal Senate procedures rather than changing policy. It requires senators to use a "motion to substitute" (not a "motion to amend") for significant changes like adding/removing bill sections or altering effective dates, while clarifying that minor verbal amendments must stay under 10 words. The resolution also corrects a numbering error and makes technical adjustments to four existing Senate rules. These changes affect only Senate members and staff during legislative debates and committee work.
