Senate rejects resolution to expand special‑session agenda powers
Summary
The Senate voted down SJR 6, a resolution that would have allowed the legislature by two‑thirds vote to add items to a special session agenda. Sponsors said the change would expand flexibility; the measure failed and will be filed.
Senator Blackcomb presented SJR 6, a resolution that would have given the legislature the ability—by a two‑thirds vote—to add items to a special session agenda. After brief discussion and a roll‑call process, the measure failed on the Senate floor and was filed.
Proponents framed the resolution as a procedural reform to allow the legislature greater flexibility during special sessions. The clerk and presiding officer conducted a roll call and reported the outcome; the final announcement recorded the bill as failed and filed.
Because the measure was a resolution affecting internal procedure, supporters said any future effort would need further floor work and sponsor outreach.
