Senate Bill 263
Relating to: ratification of the agreement negotiated between the state of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, and its appropriate affiliated locals, AFL-CIO, for the 2003-05 biennium, covering employees in the security and public safety collective bargaining unit, and authorizing an expenditure of funds.
Senator Risser raised a point of order that the Senate Rules apply to extraordinary sessions and that, pursuant to those rules, Senate Rule
18 requires the production and distribution of a calendar for the extraordinary session.
__________________
S302
The Chair ruled the point of order not well taken. Although the Senate Rules generally do apply to extraordinary sessions, the Senate Rules do not require the production of a calendar for a session day. In the absence of a calendar, the Senate may convene and follow the orders of business required under Senate Rule
17. For purposes of this extraordinary session, the committee on Senate Organization called the session but did not prepare a calendar. Thus, the Senate followed the orders of business dictated by Senate Rule
17. Bills taken up during the session may be taken up by unanimous consent
