House Oversight Committee adopts rules and sets regular meeting time

The House Oversight Committee voted to adopt a proposed set of committee rules and to set Tuesdays at 9 a.m. in Room 352 of the State Capitol as the committee’s regular meeting day, time and place.

The rules motion was offered by Representative Matt Beierlein and adopted on a roll call the clerk recorded as 16 yeas, no nays and no passes. Representative Reggie Miller moved to adopt Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Room 352 as the committee’s regular meeting schedule; the clerk recorded 17 ayes, no nays and no passes.

The committee convened with a quorum after the clerk read the speaker’s appointment letter naming the panel membership and leadership. Chair Jay DeBoer presided during the organizational actions. The clerk announced the committee had a quorum prior to the votes.

The adopted items set the procedural framework and a standing time and place for future oversight hearings and presentations. Committee rules and a fixed schedule give the chair and staff a clear operating cadence for receiving audit reports, presentations from the Office of the Auditor General, and other oversight business.
