STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This proposal makes a number of revisions to Senate Rules. First, it repeals Senate Rule 52 regarding mailings. It then recodifies Rule 53 to become the new Senate Rule 52 and recodifies Senate Rule 54 as Senate Rule 53. It then revises the new Senate Rule 52 to provide that a complaint may allege a material violation of the Rules of the Senate. In addition, this provides that certain private communications with members of majority or minority leadership do not violate the requirement of confidentiality.
