Referred to Committee on Senate Organization.

To repeal senate rule 65 (3);

to repeal and recreate senate rule 98 (4);(4);andto create senate rule 22 (3);

and to create senate rule 22 (3);

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

Publication of daily journal The resolution clarifies that the senate chief clerk prepares and publishes, not reproduces, the daily journal for all purposes.

Conduct of individuals in gallery and chamber The resolution provides that individuals may not record any of the proceedings in the senate chamber.

Distribution of daily calendar The resolution clarifies that a copy of the calendar must be distributed to members before the calendar is acted upon, but eliminates the requirement that the sergeant at arms must distribute it.

Advice and consent The resolution provides that the senate must inform all appointing authorities of the senate's action on a nomination for appointment.

Current rules require the senate to inform only the governor and assembly.

The resolution also eliminates LRB-1097/1 - 2020 Legislature - 2 - RAC:kjf language that permits the senate to act on an identical appointment when that appointment has been refused confirmation by the senate.

This conforms to the new advice and consent provisions in 2017 Wisconsin Act 369.

Finally, the resolution provides that all nominations for appointments, if they have not otherwise been submitted to the senate, are considered to have been submitted to the senate on the fifth day after the individual is nominated for appointment and are then available for senate action.

Return of tabled proposals to committee on senate organization The resolution clarifies that if a proposal is tabled on a certain day and is not removed from the table on that day, the proposal is returned to the committee on senate organization.

Citation form The resolution clarifies that the committee on senate organization approves the form used for senate citations, and not each individual citation.
