                     SENATE RESOLUTION 10-008 
       Concerning amendments to the rules of the Senate, and, in
            connection therewith, requiring twenty-four votes to
            suspend the rules for consideration of a bill not in the
            usual order of business and requiring a two-thirds vote
            by a committee of reference to waive the usual notice
            prior to considering a measure in that committee of
            reference.
       
       
            Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-seventh General Assembly
       of the State of Colorado:
       
            That Rule No. 17 (f) (6) of the Rules of the Senate is amended to

                            17.  Voting
       
       (f)  Any matter may be passed by a majority vote of a quorum except:
       
            (6)  To suspend the rules shall require 24 votes, except upon
                 three days' notice, in which event 18 votes shall be
                 required.  Notwithstanding the giving of any such
                 three days' notice, all bills shall be considered in
                 the usual order of business and within the usual
                 time periods set forth in these rules unless the
                 rules are suspended with 24 votes taken by ayes and

                 be taken separately on each bill.

            members of the committee Such notice may be waived by a
