The Parliamentarian is the Senate's advisor on the interpretation of its rules and procedures. As the Presiding Officer of the Senate often is not fully aware of the parliamentary situation currently facing the Senate, staff from the Parliamentarian's office sit on the Senate dais to advise the Presiding Officer on how to respond to inquiries and motions from Senators. While the Presiding Officer is in no way required to follow the advice of the Parliamentarian, they almost always do so. The office also refers bills to the appropriate committees on behalf of the Senate's Presiding Officer. If facing the dais, the Parliamentarian is the second from the left. The current parliamentarian is Alan Frumin.
