Revenue committee adopts standing rules, replaces vice chairman with co-chairman
Summary
The Joint Revenue Committee adopted the legislature's standing rules with a single change: references to a vice chairman were replaced with co-chairman. Senator Case moved the amendment after staff outlined how standard rules apply if no changes are made.
The Joint Revenue Committee voted to adopt the legislature's standing rules with one amendment that replaces references to a vice chairman with a co-chairman.
Committee members heard from Josh Anderson of the Legislative Service Office, who explained that "under joint rule 17-1, there's standard rules ... and, if you don't adopt anything different at this first meeting following the general session, then those standard rules become the rules of the committee." After discussion, Senator Case moved to change the chairing language and the motion passed.
The change was described on the record as narrow: the committee accepted the existing standing rules as written by statute except for substituting the co-chair title for the vice-chair title. The committee took a recorded voice vote in favor and the chair announced the rules were adopted as amended.
The committee proceeded to its scheduled agenda items following the vote.
