Senate Rules posts bills to regular orders; committee on committees issues referrals
Summary
Following a recess for committee meetings, the Senate clerk reported the Rules Committee posted SB5, SB12 and SB73 to the regular orders and the Committee on Committees referred multiple bills to standing committees; the actions set the calendar for Feb. 5 and committee agendas.
After a brief recess for committee meetings on Feb. 4, the Senate clerk reported procedural updates to the floor: the Rules Committee posted Senate Bills 5, 12 and 73 to the regular orders for Feb. 5, 2026, and the Committee on Committees referred bills to standing committees, including referral of bills to Economic Development, Tourism and Labor and to Education and State and Local Government.
The clerk named specific referrals (for example, bills referred to Economic Development, Tourism and Labor included several numbered bills) and said those items are expected on committee agendas. The reporter noted that the Rules Committee postings place items on the calendar for further action; these postings do not themselves enact policy but govern which bills the Senate will consider next.
Senators also used the motions period to request cosponsorships and to announce committee schedules and events. The Senate accepted cosponsorship paperwork for multiple bills and publicized committee meeting times for the following day.
