Aaron said the bill addressed many specific problems in the Senate and attempted to clarify some rules. She attributed the majority of fighting among Senate members to vague regulations.
"Anytime you can add clarification, it's beneficial for Senate," she said
In other action, the committee passed a bill that would require members of the Student Senate Elections Committee who run in Senate elections to resign from the committee by Oct. 2 this year and by stop day of the previous semester in future years.
Last spring, the Senate amended the rules and regulations to state that no standing member of the Elections Committee could run for student body president, vice president or student senator.
Alison Young, Nunemaker senator and author of the new bill, said her bill gave committee members a date by which to resign.
Young's bill is scheduled to be discussed tomorrow in the full Senate.

order filed Thursday in Johnson County District Court by attorneys for the three football players.
Pierron's ruling said that KU did not have to play the three players on Saturday, but that they still were academically eligible and could practice with the team.
On Thursday, the three players' attorneys filed a petition for a restraining order to prevent the University and Dyck from declaring the players academically ineligible.
The players filed suit to retain their college football eligibility. In it, the players said they were incorrectly advised by the University, making them ineligible under the National Collegiate Athletic Association's satisfactory progress rule.
Collier said Griffin was filing for his eligibility because Griffin could lose a year of participation and possibly his scholarship.
Dyck is responsible for certifying the academic eligibility of student athletes.
Dyck, when asked about the new developments in the case, said, "I haven't been thinking about it. I've got my regular job to do."
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Lohman Ray Mays Jr., one of the FBI's 10-most wanted criminals who is suspected in the August abduction of a highway patrolman in Kansas, was captured without incident in a golf course maintenance shed.

Kidnap suspect captured peacefully
FBI Agent Bill Gavin said Mays, 40, was spotted yesterday by a Cheyenne Municipal Golf Course groundskewer darting into a maintenance shed. Police officers entered the shed and found Mays unarmed and hiding on a high shelf. He offered no resistance, Gavin said.
Mays and Patricia Anne Barrett, 28, were pulled over by a Cheyenne police officer at 3 a.m. yesterday because the officer suspected the van the pair were traveling in was stolen.
knocked down by Mays as he was fleeing, but Mays got away. Gavin said Mays had fled the scene with a weapon and was considered dangerous. Roadblocks were set up around the city and about 30 officers and a police dog conducted a house-to-house search for Mays in the area where Barrett was arrested.
The officer gave chase and apprehended Barrett after she stopped, reached for a weapon and was
Gavin speculated Mays disposed of his weapon while fleeing capture.
Gavin said the pair had a number of weapons in their possession as well as other survival gear.
Mays and Barrett may have come to Cheyenne because the pair are "survivalists," the FBI agent said.
Although Gavin said "one place is as good as another when you're trying to avoid arrest," he added that Mays and Barrett may have been drawn to Wyoming because "it's a beautiful place to camp."
Mays and Barrett made appearances in federal court in Chyneenne yesterday and were ordered held without bond until another court appearance was set.
Police Capt. Don Pierson said authorities found at least two other automatic weapons in the van, which also had stolen license plates. He added no shots were fired during Barrett's arrest.
He was serving a life sentence as a habitual criminal when he and two other men escaped from a Tennessee prison July 1, 1984. Mays also is a suspect in the May 28, 1985, robbery of the Commerce Bank of Barry County, Eagle Rock, Mo.
Mays, an escape from a Tennessee prison, is wanted for a string of bank robberies in South Carolina and Vermont. He has a lengthy criminal record for murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault, receiving stolen property and for having shot and wounded a police officer.
Stockholder files lawsuit against KG&E
The Associated Press
WICHITA, — A $1 billion lawsuit against Kansas Gas and Electric Co. was filed yesterday by an Arkansas stockholder who contends that the utility should have abandoned the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant in 1981 and written off its losses.
Ellen Rae Kaufman, Little Rock, filed the suit in U.S. District Court. Kaufman refused to comment on the suit last night and also declined to
detail her holdings in the Wichita based utility.
"I don't know how much stock I own," she said. "My husband manages my business affairs."
The suit names as defendants the company, KG&E chairman Wilson Cadman and the utility's vice president, and Ralph Foster, general manager of the company's chain spokesmen. Lee Koerper, yesterday declined to comment.
Foster to repay the utility at least $1 billion in plant expenses, accuses them of financial irresponsibility and asks that a federal judge order a full accounting of the utility's losses from Wolf Creek.
The suit seeks to force Cadman and
"From at least 1891, defendant directors knew or should have known that, due to the staggering cost overruns in Wolf Creek's construction, the facility was financially impracticable and the project should have been canceled." the suit said.
The directors "became aware of
the facts .. but did nothing to prevent the waste of corporate assets and thereby breached their contractual obligations," the suit said.
Last week, the Kansas Corporation Commission refused to allow two-thirds of Wolf Creek's $3.05 billion construction costs into the rate bases of KG&E and Kansas City Power and Light Co.
The commission allowed KG&E a 38-percent rate increase to be spread over the next four years, beginning Oct. 1.
