SR 5

The resolution amends the senate rules to provide that if the Joint Committee

on Finance has not reported the executive budget bill for the succeeding fiscal

biennium from JCF by June 30 of the odd-numbered year, all of the following must

occur:

1. If the executive budget bill is a senate bill, the bill must be rereferred to the

Committee on Senate Organization. The senate majority leader must then introduce

a substitute amendment to the bill that incorporates the provisions of the executive

budget bill, as affected by all JCF motions that were adopted before June 30 of the

odd-numbered year.

2. If the executive budget bill is not a senate bill, the senate majority leader

must introduce a bill that incorporates the provisions of the executive budget bill, as

affected by all JCF motions that were adopted before June 30 of the odd-numbered

year. The bill must be referred to the Committee on Senate Organization and is not

required to have a public hearing before being placed on the calendar if the executive

budget bill received a hearing at JCF.
