Senate adopts technical amendments to internal rules after roll-call vote
Summary
The Senate adopted proposed amendments to Senate Rule 18.01(1)(4) (technical updates aligning rules with Legislative Administration Committee policies) following a roll-call vote that produced 19 ayes; the motion was carried and recorded.
The Oregon State Senate on the floor adopted proposed amendments to Senate Rule 18.01(1)(4) after a roll-call vote.
Senator Jama moved the adoption of the amendments, describing the changes as a dated-based and personnel-policy alignment that confirms Senate rules with policies previously adopted by the Legislative Administration Committee. There was no extended debate and no amendments offered on the floor.
The clerk called the roll on the motion. The roll-call concluded with 19 ayes and the presiding officer announced that the motion was carried and the proposed rule amendments were adopted.
The action is procedural: the floor adoption reconciles internal Senate rules with administrative policies. Senators recorded as voting or present were called during the roll; the clerk’s roll showed multiple members voting in favor and several recorded as opposed or excused. The motion carried without further floor action and no subsequent policy or statutory change was enacted by this vote.
