AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
A package of internal housekeeping changes updates how the Utah Senate runs its day-to-day proceedings, including formally defining "minority leader" and "minority party," clarifying how Senate rules apply during extraordinary sessions, adjusting the consent calendar process so bills on it must go to a roll call vote and cannot be amended or debated, and removing a restriction that previously limited senators to speaking only twice on the same subject during a committee of the whole.
