  2. Rule 9. Passage of Bills

§ 6. Final passage. a. Prior to the reading of the third reading

calendar of any given day, the Majority Coalition Leaders may jointly

file with the Journal Clerk an active list of bills on the third reading

calendar which may be acted upon on that date and he or she may lay

aside any bill upon which no final action may be taken, provided

however, that no bill shall be so laid aside for a period exceeding five

calendar legislative days. Such active list shall be published to the

extent practicable by 8 p.m. the previous evening or within two hours

following the end of the previous days' session, whichever is later.

b. The question on the final passage of every bill shall be taken

immediately after the third reading and without debate. On the final

passage of every bill and concurrent resolution a fast roll call shall

be taken by the Secretary calling the names of five Senators, three of

whom shall be the Conference Leaders provided, however, that each

Senator's name shall be called on a slow roll call if requested by five

Senators. Each roll call, including the names of the Senators who were

absent shall be entered on the journal. Upon each roll call vote, the

Secretary shall announce the names of the Senators voting in the

negative and the names of the Senators who were absent. Such roll calls

shall be available for public inspection upon request in the office of

the Journal Clerk. When a bill or concurrent resolution does not receive

the number of votes required by the Constitution to pass it, it shall be

declared lost, except in cases provided for by subdivision d of section

two of Rule X hereof.
