Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This resolution makes the following changes to the senate rules:

Appropriate attire while senate is in session The resolution provides that denim jeans are not appropriate attire for men and women while the senate sits in session.

Access to senate floor The resolution provides that technical staff designated by the senate chief clerk may be admitted to the senate floor when the senate sits in session.

Days and hours for meeting Current rules provide that the senate must meet at 10 a.m.

on Tuesday and Thursday unless a different day or hour is prescribed by the Committee on Senate Organization or by a resolution or motion adopted by majority vote of the members present.

The resolution eliminates the 10 a.m.

default, but not Tuesday and Thursday requirement.

LRB-0838/3 - 2022 Legislature - 2 - RAC:kjf&klm Referral of vetoes to Committee on Senate Organization The resolution provides that veto messages received from the governor must be referred to the Committee on Senate Organization.

The change clarifies that veto messages from the assembly need not be referred to the Committee on Senate Organization but may be taken up immediately if the senate is in session.

Distribution of documents Numerous rules require the “distribution” of documents to senators and others, a requirement that assumes all documents will be in paper format.

The resolution amends the rules to require instead that documents be “made available” so that they may be delivered in digital or electronic format, as well as in paper format.

Assignment of legislative employees to pay ranges Currently, the chief clerk assigns legislative employees to pay ranges.

The resolution provides that the legislative human resources office assigns legislative employees to pay ranges.
