This resolution updates the internal rules that govern how the Utah Senate operates. It formally defines "minority leader" and "minority party," clarifies how Senate rules apply during special and newly recognized "extraordinary" sessions (including when the Senate can convene for one and how gubernatorial appointee confirmation hearings work during such sessions), and spells out that guests a senator brings onto the Senate floor must follow general Senate rules and practice rather than specific citation rules. It also changes the process for bills on the "consent calendar" (a fast-track list for non-controversial legislation) by requiring the bill to be read a third time and go straight to a roll call vote without amendments or debate, and it removes a rule that had capped senators to speaking only twice on the same subject during a "committee of the whole" (a process where the full Senate debates a bill informally). Other changes are technical corrections and clarifications, such as how points of order are handled and how executive confirmation committees are structured and run.
