Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Senate Resolution 1 primarily adds a clarification regarding how the Senate is called to order when key leadership, such as the President and President Pro Tempore, are absent. It details the order in which other officials, like the Deputy President Pro Tempore and the Chair of the Committee on Rules, would preside in their absence. This change is important because it ensures that there is a clear chain of authority and procedure for convening the Senate, which helps maintain order and efficiency in legislative processes.
