What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current senate rules provide that whenever a nomination for an executive branch appointment is submitted to the senate for confirmation, the president must refer the nomination to the standing committee that the president considers the most appropriate committee to pass upon the qualifications of the candidate. The committee must report its findings and recommendations to the senate in writing.

There are no deadlines for committee action on the nomination or for the full senate to act on the nomination.

Read the full summary

This resolution amends the senate rules to provide that the president must refer a nomination to committee within 10 days after the appointment is submitted to the senate and the committee must report its findings and recommendations to the senate within 50 days after referral. The rules are further amended to require that the senate must consider a nomination within 40 days after a committee has reported its findings and recommendations on the nomination to the senate.
