Bill > SF3833

This bill establishes a Legislative Commission on Legislative Security, comprised of six senators and six representatives appointed by their respective party leaders, with specific requirements for some members to also serve on the advisory committee for Capitol Area Security. The commission will have two-year terms, with leadership rotating between the senate and house, and will be supported by administrative services from the Legislative Coordinating Commission, which may also contract for necessary professional and technical services. The commission's duties include studying and analyzing security needs for legislators and staff, and reviewing proposed legislation impacting their security. While generally subject to open meeting laws, the commission can hold closed meetings to protect confidential security measures, with records kept confidential for at least eight years and released between eight and twenty years after the meeting, and specific procedures for these closed meetings will be adopted. The commission is required to report its findings annually to legislative leadership and this section of law will expire on December 31, 2035.
