The Joint Committee on Conduct voted to adopt proposed joint committee rules dated 03/05/2025, chairing members said at the committee's informational meeting.
Co Chair Prozinski moved to adopt the proposed committee rules dated 03/05/2025, saying, “I move to adopt the proposed committee rules dated 03/05/2025.” The committee then conducted a roll-call vote and the motion carried.
The adopted document is the standard joint committee rules used for bicameral committees, with a single noted difference: Section 1 clarifies officer appointments because the joint committee includes members appointed by each chamber and is led by co-chairs from both chambers. Committee counsel described the draft as “the standard joint committee rules” and noted the officer language as the only substantive variation.
During the roll call several members recorded affirmative votes and two members were excused. President Beal, President Graham, Senator Weber, Co Chair Anderson, Mayor Proff and the co chairperson on the dais recorded yes/aye votes; Senator Woods and Co Chair Mannix were excused. After the tally the chair announced, “Aye. Rules, are adopted.”
The committee moved on to informational items after the rules were adopted and closed the formal vote portion of the meeting.
Votes at a glance: the committee recorded six affirmative votes, zero negative votes, and two excused/absent members; the chair declared the motion approved.
