Senate Republican leaders on Friday approved locking down the Senate galleries and chambers. Access will be under the following exceptions:
The vestibule area of the chamber will be limited to senators and staff. Access to areas beyond the vestibule area will be limited to senators, chief clerk, sergeant at arms and staff, the Senate President and his staff and the Majority Leader and his staff.
Access to the chamber reserved for the media will be granted as allowed under current policy.
During any time the Senate is adjourned, in recess, or under a call of the Senate, access to the galleries will be prohibited. Other times when the Senate is in session, member of the public will be allowed in the galleries, subject to the prerogative of the presiding officer to maintain order.
