Senator Warren chosen chair; Bob Lewis to serve as vice chair
Summary
At the organizational meeting of the Russell Jennings joint committee, Senator Warren was elected chair and Bob Lewis said he will serve as vice chair; both choices were approved by voice vote.
Senator Warren was elected chair of the Russell Jennings joint committee on juvenile justice at the organizational meeting. "I'll make the motion that the new chair should be, Senator Warren," said Bob Lewis, who moved the nomination and stated he would serve as vice chair.
The committee approved the nomination by voice vote after the motion was seconded; Bob Lewis then led the voice vote, saying, "All in favor say aye," and the motion passed. No roll-call tally was provided in the transcript.
The organizational action establishes leadership for the committee's interim work. Members did not debate the nomination; the meeting moved on to select a ranking minority member and to set deadlines for interim-study topic submissions. The meeting adjourned shortly after the organizational business was completed.
