Modifies Senate Rules 52 and 84 to require certain bills to lie on the table for one day before the Senate may take action on the bill and changes the threshold to submit a motion for the previous question

Summary

The resolution updates Missouri Senate Rule 52 so that any bill with House amendments or a conference committee substitute must sit on the table for one day before the Senate can act on it. It also revises Rule 84, increasing the number of senators needed to file a written demand for a previous‑question motion from ten to eighteen. The changes affect how quickly legislation moves through the Senate and how easily debate can be cut off.
