CONCERNING THE AUTHORITY OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO ESTABLISH POLICIES FOR LEGISLATORS TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY IN MEETINGS OF COMMITTEES CONSISTING OF MEMBERS FROM BOTH CHAMBERS THAT ARE HELD AT ANY TIME DURING THE YEAR.

AI Summary

This bill expands the authority of the executive committee of the legislative council to establish policies for legislators to participate remotely, meaning electronically or by other means, in meetings of committees that include members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, regardless of whether the legislature is in session or during interim periods, with a specific exclusion for joint meetings of House and Senate committees of reference. The bill clarifies that remote participation in these joint committees during interim periods counts towards a legislator's attendance for compensation purposes, but does not allow for reimbursement of expenses related to such remote participation.
