The Arkansas Senate Insurance & Commerce Committee adopted its committee rules by voice vote and set its regular meeting schedule on an organizational call.
Chair Jim Hendren opened the informal session, asked staff to introduce themselves and invited agency officials to the table. After member introductions, Missy Irvin moved to adopt the committee's standard rules and Senator Keith Ingram seconded the motion. The chair called for a voice vote and declared the rules adopted.
Committee members were reminded that five members are required both to convene the committee and to pass business out of it. The committee will meet in Room 171 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:00 p.m., with additional meetings scheduled "upon adjournment" as needed. The chair asked members to leave folders and bills on their seats and to coordinate with staff if they intend to place bills on the agenda.
No roll-call vote or vote tally was recorded in the transcript; the rules adoption was recorded as a voice vote only. The chair adjourned the meeting after confirming the schedule and there were no further formal actions.
