Dear Senate Rules Committee

I have received notice of motions:

with actions requested at the 2 December 2009 Senate meeting. To quote from the charter: " The Rules Committee shall meet with the maker of the motion and work within the established rules of the committee to perfect the legislation....The Rules Committee chair shall assure that the maker of the motion has provided a valid Fiscal Impact Statement prior to formal introduction of the motion. (See "Fiscal Impact Statement" in Article V) The Rules Committee chair shall report the Committee's changes in wording or procedure to the sponsor(s), whether or not they are accepted by the sponsor(s). Only the Rules Committee form of the motion shall be introduced for Senate consideration...." Let me add that part of your task is to decide if motions are in order - i.e. within the purvue of the Senate.

US09/10-8 does not seem to have a significant financial impact. On the other hand US09/10-7 may well have a significant financial impact.

I am very grateful to you for all your hard work -- you are a central part of the Senate's parlimentary functioning.

Peter B Gilkey
President(2009/10) UO Senate.
