Bill > SR5

This resolution calls for the Senate and the House of Representatives to convene together in a Joint Convention, which is a formal meeting where both chambers of the legislature gather in the same physical space, for the specific purpose of electing two key state executive branch officials: the Secretary of State and the State Treasurer. In such a Joint Convention, members from both the Senate and House will typically vote collectively to choose these officials, who play important roles in state government administration. The Secretary of State is typically responsible for maintaining state records and overseeing elections, while the State Treasurer manages the state's financial accounts and investments. By using a Joint Convention for this election, the resolution ensures a unified, transparent process for selecting these critical state government leadership positions.
