Resolution to ensure sufficient time for Senate to read legislation before consideration.

The resolution mandates that the Senate cannot consider any bill, resolution, message, conference report, amendment, treaty, or other measure or matter until a specific period has passed since its introduction. This period is calculated as one session day for every 20 pages in the measure or matter, plus one additional session day for any remaining pages less than 20. Any Senator can raise a point of order if this rule is not followed, and waiving this rule requires an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members.
