SR 713 — Summary

Overview

SR 713 is a Senate resolution introduced on May 31, 2025, and titled “Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 40.” The measure is classified as a resolution and is described as having the status “reported enrolled.” The resolution concerns suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction in relation to House Bill 40 (HB 40).

Purpose and Intent

  • The primary purpose of SR 713 is to suspend or temporarily lift limitations on the jurisdiction of conference committees so they may consider or report out HB 40 without the usual jurisdictional constraints.
  • This procedural action is intended to facilitate the conference committee process for HB 40, potentially allowing inclusion of matters that would normally fall outside a conference committee’s standard scope.

Key Provisions (as described by the title and status)

  • Suspend limitations on conference committee jurisdiction related to HB 40.
  • The measure is a procedural tool affecting how a conference committee may operate on HB 40, rather than a substantive policy change.
  • As a resolution, it does not itself enact law but governs legislative process and conference committee rules for the consideration of HB 40, pending adoption.

Note: The exact text of SR 713 is not provided here, so the precise scope, duration, and conditions of the suspension are not detailed beyond the stated intent.

Affected Parties and Reach

  • Senate and House conference committee members and leadership involved in HB 40 proceedings.
  • Stakeholders connected to HB 40, including affected departments, committees (Business & Commerce, Corporations & Associations, Courts—General), and entities tracking conference committee reports.
  • Because this is a procedural resolution, its practical impact is on the legislative process rather than on substantive policy to the public.
