Bill Summary
Executive Committee of the Legislative Council. Under current law, the executive committee of the legislative council (executive committee) is authorized to adopt policies regarding the ability of members of the general assembly to remotely participate in interim committee meetings and in legislative proceedings during a disaster emergency. The bill expands the executive committee's authority to adopt policies to allow remote participation in meetings of any joint committees comprised of members from both chambers that are held at any time of the year.
AI Summary
This bill expands the authority of the Executive Committee of the Legislative Council, a group that oversees legislative operations, to create policies allowing members of the General Assembly, Colorado's state legislature, to participate remotely in meetings of any joint committees, which are committees composed of members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, at any time of the year, not just during the legislative interim or a declared disaster emergency. This change clarifies that remote participation is permitted for these broader joint committee meetings, with an exception for joint meetings of specific House and Senate committees of reference, and also confirms that members participating remotely in interim committee meetings are considered in attendance for compensation purposes but are not reimbursed for any expenses related to their electronic participation.
