This is an essential step in maintaining order within the legislative meetings and affirming the Lieutenant Governor's role in the Senate's operations.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 1, introduced by Senator Duff, aims to establish a committee of three Senators tasked with informing the Lieutenant Governor of the Senate's request for her presence in the Senate Chambers. This resolution is procedural in nature and is aimed at enabling the Lieutenant Governor to assume her responsibilities as the President of the Senate and to deliver any address she deems necessary during the session.
