Joint Committee retains current co‑chairs and sets meeting schedule for 2025 and 2026
Summary
The Joint Committee on Employee Relations voted by voice to continue existing co‑chairs through 2026 and approved motions that the committee met twice in 2025 and will meet twice in 2026.
During its executive session the Joint Committee on Employee Relations took three formal, recorded voice‑vote actions.
A motion to continue the current co‑chairs through 2026 — maintaining Senator Robinson and Representative Couture in their co‑chair roles as previously discussed — was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The chair confirmed she will remain co‑chair.
The committee then adopted a motion recognizing that it had met twice in 2025 and approved a separate motion that the committee will meet twice in 2026. Amanda Cecil, assisting with committee procedure, noted that statute requires six meetings in even‑numbered years but that the committee has historically met fewer times; the committee approved the two‑meeting schedule for 2026 by voice vote.
All votes were taken by voice; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
