Summary

The committee voted unanimously to fund three executive-committee-resolution meetings (allowing formation of up to one committee and assuming six members), authorizing a modest appropriation that replicates the 2025 interim approach.

Deputy Director Elizabeth Berger reviewed prior interim-committee funding and recommended a limited option that replicates 2025 practice. She said, "So the motion would be for 3 executive committee resolution meetings, allowing for 1 committee to be formed and assuming an average of 6 members per meeting... That's $2,193."

Mister President moved to approve funding for three executive-committee-resolution meetings under those assumptions. The motion was seconded and passed on a unanimous roll call. Members framed the vote as a way to preserve the ability to form an interim committee in the event of an emergency during the interim when the General Assembly is not in session.

Minority Leader Simpson said he favored duplicating the 2025 approach to limit cost. Director Castle confirmed that the $2,193 figure would allow for the limited contingency the committee sought. The motion passed without recorded opposition.
