Sen. Maye Quade asks Rules Committee to advance Senate File 4696 to General Orders
Summary
Sen. Maye Quade, bill manager, told the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration on May 13 that the House passed the companion to Senate File 4696 and asked the committee to move the bill to General Orders; a motion to suspend Senate Concurrent Resolution 6 was made and seconded and a voice vote was called to advance the measure.
The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration met May 13, 2026, to consider advancing Senate File 4696 to General Orders after the House passed the companion measure, Sen. Maye Quade told the panel.
Sen. Maye Quade, the bill manager, said the proposal would amend provisions tied to Senate File 1857 and that "the other body passed the companion to Senate File 4696," asking the committee to allow the Senate to take up the measure on the floor. She described the bill as bipartisan and said colleagues in both chambers had worked to complete the companion process.
The committee received no substantive questions from members. Sen. Limmer moved that the provisions of Senate Concurrent Resolution Number 6 be suspended for all further proceedings on Senate File 4696 and that the previous committee report be adopted, which would place the bill on General Orders. A committee member asked for the motion to be repeated for clarity; another member seconded the motion and offered brief praise for Sen. Maye Quade's presentation.
The chair called for those in favor to say "aye"; the transcript records the call for a voice vote and the adjournment of the meeting but does not record a roll-call tally. The proceedings on May 13 consist of the sponsor's request and the committee motion to advance the bill; the transcript does not include a detailed debate or a recorded vote count.
Next steps: according to the motion made on the record, the committee intended to send Senate File 4696 to General Orders for floor consideration. The transcript does not specify a floor calendar date.
