Notes on agenda procedure: Several senators raised procedural objections about the speaker's reordering of the session agenda without a formal motion by the Committee on Rules. The speaker explained that the committee had provided an approved list of bills and that the speaker had discretion to set the order for floor consideration; one senator cited the rule that the Committee on Rules shall set the session agenda and that changes require eight votes to adopt. The transcript records floor discussion and at least one failed motion to overrule the chair on an unrelated motion.
