(a)
The monthly meeting schedule for interim joint committees of the
Legislative Research Commission shall begin on June 1 and continue
through December 1 of each year. During that period, upon agreement of
the co-chairs, an interim joint committee shall have the authority to meet
according to the most recent regular monthly meeting schedule approved
by a majority of the entire membership of the Commission. With an
affirmative vote of a majority of its entire membership, the Commission
may alter the beginning and concluding dates of authorization granted in
this subsection for regular monthly meetings of interim joint committees
during the current calendar year, authorize any additional meeting of any
interim joint committee, or disapprove any meeting of any interim joint
committee.
(b) The co-chairs of each interim joint committee shall have joint
responsibility for approving meeting agendas and presiding at meetings. If
the co-chairs of any interim joint committee cannot agree on convening a
monthly meeting, each co-chair, with the agreement of the presiding
officer of the co-chair's chamber, may convene a meeting of the interim
joint committee members who are members of the co-chair's chamber. If
such a meeting is convened, it shall be on the regular monthly meeting
date of the interim joint committee, and it shall be staffed by the
Commission. Not more than three (3) such meetings shall be convened
by each co-chair in a calendar year.
(c) Subcommittees of interim joint committees shall be authorized to meet
according to the policies and practices of the Commission.
For purposes of this section, "interim joint committees" means those
subcommittees of the Commission which are constituted by combining the
membership of Senate and House standing committees pursuant to the most
recent interim joint committee structure approved by a majority of the entire
membership of the Commission. After March 31, 2003, until such time as the
Commission, by an affirmative vote of a majority of its entire membership,
adopts a new interim joint committee structure, the most recent interim joint
committee structure adopted by the Commission shall be considered to include
an Interim Joint Committee on Seniors, Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public
Protection, consisting of the members of the Senate Standing Committee on
Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection and the House Standing
Committee on Seniors, Military Affairs, and Public Safety.
