Joint retirement committees adopt 2025–2026 procedural rules
Summary
Members of the House and Senate retirement committees voted to adopt their 2025–2026 committee rules; the votes were voice approvals and no roll‑call tallies were specified in the meeting record.
The joint House and Senate retirement committees approved their 2025–2026 committee rules during the organizational portion of the session. House and Senate leaders said they would maintain the existing rules, including quorum thresholds carried over from the previous session.
On the House side, a motion to adopt the House Retirement Committee rules for 2025–2026 was seconded by Representative Brad Thomas; the committee carried the motion by voice vote. On the Senate side, Senator McLaren moved adoption of the Senate rules, and Senator Russ Goodman seconded; the Senate rules also carried by voice vote.
Committee members noted quorums remain unchanged: the House retirement committee quorum was described as eight members and the Senate retirement committee quorum as four members. The votes were handled as voice votes during the organizational meeting and no roll‑call tally was provided in the transcript.
These procedural rules govern committee operations, testimony and subcommittee referral for bills that come before the retirement committees during the 2025–2026 legislative session.
