The Senate Pensions Committee opened with routine organizational votes and concluded by adjourning on motion. The committee adopted the rules of the Senate to govern committee deliberations, authorized the chair to set the committee agenda, authorized staff to make technical corrections to bills and resolutions presented to the committee, authorized the council to incorporate bills or resolutions and report committee substitutes, and approved administering an oath to witnesses (excluding Senate staff and elected officials) under Senate Rule 28a.
