Modifies provisions relating to automatic stays of court and administrative proceedings for members of the General Assembly

Summary

The bill repeals the existing automatic‑stay provision and creates a new rule that pauses any court or administrative proceeding during the legislative session whenever a member files notice that they are subpoenaed as a witness, are a party to the case, or are acting as an attorney. It applies to all trial‑related activities and jury service orders, but lists several exceptions and gives the Court of Appeals power to modify or end the stay. The change is intended to protect legislators’ ability to serve while still allowing courts to move forward when appropriate.
