Adopting rules of Senate
SR 1 adopts the official rules governing the Senate's operations for the 87th Legislature. It establishes key procedures including requiring a majority of senators to form a quorum for business, details the election process for Senate officers (like President and Clerk), and sets the standardized order of business for sessions. These rules directly affect all Senate members and officers by dictating how debates, voting, and committee reports are handled during legislative sessions. The resolution does not create new policies but provides the procedural framework for Senate proceedings.
