Senate Legislative Briefing (January 24)

Each week, The Caucus will publish a rundown of legislation on the docket for Senate. This will help keep the ASUW community informed about what is going on. Please see below for what is on the agenda for this week:


OA-18-1: The Omnibus Bylaws and Rules Update Act of 2011
This bill proposes a large number of changes to the Senate Bylaws. These changes are for the most part minor and uncontroversial however some changes provide Senate with more authority and flexibility which has made some Board members uneasy.

Overall these are beneficial changes. Support for individual amendments are largely a matter of personal preference.

R-18-11: A Resolution in Support of a Permanent Lab Space for the UW Biodiesel Cooperative
Coming soon...

R-18-12: A Resolution Expressing Opposition to SOPA
Coming soon...

R-18-15: A Resolution in Support of Environmentally Friendly Ground Maintenance Equipment

R-18-16: A Resolution Supporting the Resource Center for Student Organizations
