(2) of whom shall be appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives. At least one (1) appointee by each appointive authority shall

and Revenue. The appointments shall be made within seven (7) legislative
days of the end of each regular session of the General Assembly held in
even-numbered years, and the members so appointed shall serve for a term of
two (2) years coextensive with the biennium in which the appointment is made.
Vacancies shall be filled within sixty (60) days of occurrence in the same
manner as the original appointments, and for the balance of the term of the

The members appointed from each chamber shall elect one (1) member from
their chamber to serve as co-chair. Co-chairs shall be elected at the first
meeting of the committee following the end of the regular session in
even-numbered years. The co-chairs shall have joint responsibilities for
committee meeting agendas and presiding at committee meetings. On an
alternating basis, each co-chair shall have the first option to set the monthly
meeting date. A monthly meeting may be canceled by agreement of both
co-chairs. A majority of the entire membership of the Legislative Program
Review and Investigations Committee shall constitute a quorum, and all actions
of the committee shall be by vote of a majority of its entire membership.
When a study is instituted, the committee shall request that the Legislative
Research Commission appoint the co-chairs and two (2) minority members
from the interim joint committee of relevant jurisdiction to serve as nonvoting ex
officio members of the committee in activities related to the relevant study. One
(1) of the minority members shall be a member of the House of
Representatives designated by the House Minority Floor Leader and the other
minority member shall be a member of the Senate designated by the Senate
Minority Floor Leader.
Each regular and nonvoting ex officio member of the committee shall receive

Legislative Research Commission Note (3/31/2003). In codifying the 2003
Regular Session changes to this statute, the Reviser of Statutes, under the
authority of KRS 7.136, has changed an existing reference in subsection (4) of
this statute from "KRS 7.090(2)" to "KRS 7.090(3)." In codification following the
1982 Regular Session, subsection (2) of KRS 7.090 was renumbered as
subsection (3), but the necessary adjustment to the reference in this statute was
not made.
