President Ellis ruled on the point of order that was raised on November 3, 2011 by Senator Miller, questioning the status of Senate Resolution 22.
"On November 3, 2011, the Senator from the 16th, Senator Miller, raised a point of order questioning the status of Senate Resolution 22 as a privileged resolution. The Chair took the question under advisement. The Chair is now prepared to rule.
Senate Rule
69 states that a privileged resolution "need not lie over for consideration, but may be taken up immediately unless referred to the calendar or committee." However, Senate Rule
90 specifically governs the procedure for changing the Senate Rules stating: "after the senate rules have been established at the commencement of the biennial session, any resolution to change the senate rules must lay over one week." These rules appear to conflict, with one saying that a privileged resolution need not lie over and the other saying that a change to the rules must lie over. It is the Chair's opinion, though, that when a privileged change to the rules is involved, the key to harmonizing Senate Rule
69 and Senate Rule
90 is the phrase "unless referred to the calendar."
The Chair hereby rules that, pursuant to these two rules, a privileged resolution that changes the Senate Rules must be placed under the 10th Order of business on the first calendar established at least one week after introduction of the resolution.
More than one week has passed since the introduction of Senate Resolution 22. Thus, under the terms of this ruling, Senate Resolution 22 shall be placed on the next established calendar. The resolution shall be placed under the 10th Order of Business, consideration of motions, resolutions, and joint resolutions not requiring a 3rd reading.
