N.Y. Senate Rules Rule 6, § 5: Special orders

§ 5. Special orders. Whenever any bill or other matter is made a

special order for a particular day, and it shall not be completed on

that day, it shall, unless otherwise ordered, retain its place on the

calendar as a special order in the order of business in which it was

considered. When a special order is under consideration, it shall take

precedence over any special order for a subsequent hour of the same day;

but such subsequent order may be taken up immediately after disposal of

the previous special order.
