§ 2. Motion for Chamber Consideration. a. It shall be in order for any
Senator, who is the sponsor of a bill that is on the Senate's Third
Reading Calendar, to move for chamber consideration of such bill. Such
motion shall require an affirmative vote of three-fifths of members
elected. Where a motion for chamber consideration is approved, such bill
shall be considered by the full Senate on the first calendar legislative
day after four days shall have passed. Provided however, where such
motion is approved within the last five scheduled days of the regular
legislative session, such bill shall be considered by the Senate no
later than the next calendar legislative day.
b. On any calendar legislative day, no more than two motions for
chamber consideration shall be in order before the Senate. The sponsor
of such motion shall serve written notice of intent to bring such motion
at least one calendar legislative day before such motion shall be made,
specifying the date the motion is to be made.
