What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Joint Legislative Council is comprised of 22 members consisting of the

speaker of the assembly and the president of the senate, the speaker pro tempore of

the assembly and the president pro tempore of the senate, the senate and assembly

majority and minority leaders, the two cochairpersons of the Joint Committee on

Finance, the ranking minority member of the Joint Committee on Finance from each

house, and five senators and five representatives to the assembly appointed as are

the members of standing committees in their respective houses. This bill permits the

speaker of the assembly or the president of the senate to decline to serve as member

of the Joint Legislative Council and, instead, appoint a replacement member of his

or her house to the Joint Legislative Council.
