Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Senate Resolution 2001 clarify the rules for compensation during the 2026 Special Session of the Virginia Senate. Notably, it now specifies that members will receive per diem and mileage reimbursement only for days when they participate in scheduled floor sessions, while excluding legislative assistants from receiving this per diem. Additionally, it allows members to be compensated during recesses if they serve on certain committees. These changes help to manage budget considerations and ensure fair compensation practices among Senate members.
