Special meetings of the Joint Transportation Committee may be called by the chair by giving members of the committee 14 days notice when the Legislature is out of session, and 24 hours notice if a meeting is called on a legislative day or legislative committee day. Special meetings may also be called by petition of a majority of the members of the committee that includes the date and time of the meeting and all members are given 24 hours notice. Decisions of the Joint Transportation Committee may be made by a majority of the members present and voting at any properly convened meeting as long as a quorum is in attendance.
