What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law adopts the midwest interstate passenger rail compact and creates

a Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission. Among the members of the

commission are one representative to the assembly, appointed by the speaker of the

assembly for a two-year term, and one senator appointed by the president of the

senate for a two-year term. The compact, as enacted into state law, specifies that the

members of the commission must include two legislators, one from each house, who

shall serve two-year terms, or until successors are appointed.

This bill clarifies that the legislative members of the commission serve

two-year terms, or until successors are appointed.
