COMMITTEE RULES

I. RULES OF PROCEDURE

Rule 1. Regular Meeting Days.—The regular meeting day of the committee shall be the second and fourth Tuesday of each

month, except that if there be no business before the committee the regular meeting shall be omitted.

Rule 2. Committee Meetings.—(a) Except as provided by paragraph 3 of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to special meetings called by a majority of the committee) and subsection (b) of this rule, committee meetings, for the conduct

of business, for the purpose of holding hearings, or for any other purpose, shall be called by the chairman. Members will be

notified of committee meetings at least 48 hours in advance, unless the chairman determines that an emergency situation requires

a meeting on shorter notice. The notification will include a written agenda together with materials prepared by the staff relating

to that agenda. After the agenda for a committee meeting is published and distributed, no nongermane items may be brought

up during that meeting unless at least two-thirds of the members present agree to consider those items.

(b) In the absence of the chairman, meetings of the committee may be called by the ranking majority member of the

committee who is present, provided authority to call meetings has been delegated to such member by the chairman.

Rule 3. Presiding Officer.—(a) The chairman shall preside at all meetings and hearings of the committee except that in his

absence the ranking majority member who is present at the meeting shall preside.

(b) Notwithstanding the rule prescribed by subsection (a) any member of the committee may preside over the conduct

of a hearing.

Rule 4. Quorums.—(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) one-third of the membership of the committee, including not less

than one member of the majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business.

(b) Notwithstanding the rule prescribed by subsection (a), one member shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of conducting a hearing.

Rule 5. Reporting of Measures or Recommendations.—No measure or recommendation shall be reported from the committee

unless a majority of the committee is actually present and a majority of those present concur.

Rule 6. Proxy Voting; Polling.—(a) Except as provided by paragraph 7(a)(3) of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate

(relating to limitation on use of proxy voting to report a measure or matter), members who are unable to be present may have

their vote recorded by proxy.

(b) At the discretion of the committee, members who are unable to be present and whose vote has not been cast by proxy

may be polled for the purpose of recording their vote on any rollcall taken by the committee.

Rule 7. Order of Motions.—When several motions are before the committee dealing with related or overlapping matters, the

chairman may specify the order in which the motions shall be voted upon.

Rule 8. Bringing a Matter to a Vote.—If the chairman determines that a motion or amendment has been adequately debated,

he may call for a vote on such motion or amendment, and the vote shall then be taken, unless the committee votes to continue

debate on such motion or amendment, as the case may be. The vote on a motion to continue debate on any motion or amendment

shall be taken without debate.

Rule 9. Public Announcement of Committee Votes.—Pursuant to paragraph 7(b) of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the

Senate (relating to public announcement of votes), the results of rollcall votes taken by the committee on any measure (or amendment thereto) or matter shall be announced publicly not later than the day on which such measure or matter is ordered reported

from the committee.

Rule 10. Subpoenas.—Subpoenas for attendance of witnesses and the production of memoranda, documents, and records shall

be issued by the chairman, or by any other member of the committee designated by him.

Rule 11. Nominations.—In considering a nomination, the Committee may conduct an investigation or review of the nominee’s

experience, qualifications, and suitability, to serve in the position to which he or she has been nominated. To aid in such investigation or review, each nominee may be required to submit a sworn detailed statement including biographical, financial, policy, and

other information which the Committee may request. The Committee may specify which items in such statement are to be received on a confidential basis. Witnesses called to testify on the nomination may be required to testify under oath.

Rule 12. Open Committee Hearings.—To the extent required by paragraph 5 of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate

(relating to limitations on open hearings), each hearing conducted by the committee shall be open to the public.

Rule 13. Announcement of Hearings.—The committee shall undertake consistent with the provisions of paragraph 4(a) of Rule

XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate (relating to public notice of committee hearings) to issue public announcements of

hearings it intends to hold at least one week prior to the commencement of such hearings.
12

Rule 14. Witnesses at Hearings.—(a) Each witness who is scheduled to testify at any hearing must submit his written testimony

to the staff director not later than noon of the business day immediately before the last business day preceding the day on which

he is scheduled to appear. Such written testimony shall be accompanied by a brief summary of the principal points covered in

the written testimony. Having submitted his written testimony, the witness shall be allowed not more than ten minutes for oral

presentation of his statement.

(b) Witnesses may not read their entire written testimony, but must confine their oral presentation to a summarization

of their arguments.

(c) Witnesses shall observe proper standards of dignity, decorum and propriety while presenting their views to the committee. Any witness who violates this rule shall be dismissed, and his testimony (both oral and written) shall not appear in the

record of the hearing.

(d) In scheduling witnesses for hearings, the staff shall attempt to schedule witnesses so as to attain a balance of views

early in the hearings. Every member of the committee may designate witnesses who will appear before the committee to testify.

To the extent that a witness designated by a member cannot be scheduled to testify during the time set aside for the hearing,

a special time will be set aside for the witness to testify if the member designating that witness is available at that time to chair

the hearing.

Rule 15. Audiences.—Persons admitted into the audience for open hearings of the committee shall conduct themselves with the

dignity, decorum, courtesy and propriety traditionally observed by the Senate. Demonstrations of approval or disapproval of any

statement or act by any member or witness are not allowed. Persons creating confusion or distractions or otherwise disrupting

the orderly proceeding of the hearing shall be expelled from the hearing.

Rule 16. Broadcasting of Hearings.—(a) Broadcasting of open hearings by television or radio coverage shall be allowed upon

approval by the chairman of a request filed with the staff director not later than noon of the day before the day on which such

coverage is desired.

(b) If such approval is granted, broadcasting coverage of the hearing shall be conducted unobtrusively and in accordance

with the standards of dignity, propriety, courtesy and decorum traditionally observed by the Senate.

(c) Equipment necessary for coverage by television and radio media shall not be installed in, or removed from, the hearing

room while the committee is in session.

(d) Additional lighting may be installed in the hearing room by the media in order to raise the ambient lighting level

to the lowest level necessary to provide adequate television coverage of the hearing at the then current state of the art of television

coverage.

(e) The additional lighting authorized by subsection (d) of this rule shall not be directed into the eyes of any members

of the committee or of any witness, and at the request of any such member or witness, offending lighting shall be extinguished.

(f) No witness shall be required to be photographed at any hearing or to give testimony while the broadcasting (or coverage) of that hearing is being conducted. At the request of any such witness who does not wish to be subjected to radio or

television coverage, all equipment used for coverage shall be turned off.

Rule 17. Subcommittees.—(a) The chairman, subject to the approval of the committee, shall appoint legislative subcommittees.

All legislation shall be kept on the full committee calendar unless a majority of the members present and voting agree to refer

specific legislation to an appropriate subcommittee.

(b) The chairman may limit the period during which House-passed legislation referred to a subcommittee under paragraph

(a) will remain in that subcommittee. At the end of that period, the legislation will be restored to the full committee calendar.

The period referred to in the preceding sentences should be 6 weeks, but may be extended in the event that adjournment or

a long recess is imminent.

(c) All decisions of the chairman are subject to approval or modification by a majority vote of the committee.

(d) The full committee may at any time by majority vote of those members present discharge a subcommittee from further

consideration of a specific piece of legislation.

(e) Because the Senate is constitutionally prohibited from passing revenue legislation originating in the Senate, subcommittees may mark up legislation originating in the Senate and referred to them under Rule 16(a) to develop specific proposals for

full committee consideration but may not report such legislation to the full committee. The preceding sentence does not apply

to nonrevenue legislation originating in the Senate.

(f) The chairman and ranking minority members shall serve as nonvoting ex officio members of the subcommittees on

which they do not serve as voting members.

(g) Any member of the committee may attend hearings held by any subcommittee and question witnesses testifying before

that subcommittee.
13

(h) Subcommittee meeting times shall be coordinated by the staff director to insure that—

(1) no subcommittee meeting will be held when the committee is in executive session, except by unanimous consent;

(2) no more than one subcommittee will meet when the full committee is holding hearings; and

(3) not more than two subcommittees will meet at the same time.

Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3), a subcommittee may meet when the full committee is holding hearings and

two subcommittees may meet at the same time only upon the approval of the chairman and the ranking minority member of

the committee and subcommittees involved.

(i) All nominations shall be considered by the full committee.

(j) The chairman will attempt to schedule reasonably frequent meetings of the full committee to permit consideration of

legislation reported favorably to the committee by the subcommittees.

Rule 18. Transcripts of Committee Meetings.—An accurate record shall be kept of all markups of the committee, whether they

be open or closed to the public. This record, marked as ‘‘uncorrected,’’ shall be available for inspection by Members of the

Senate, or members of the committee together with their staffs, at any time. This record shall not be published or made public

in any way except:

(a) By majority vote of the committee after all members of the committee have had a reasonable opportunity to correct

their remarks for grammatical errors or to accurately reflect statements made.

(b) Any member may release his own remarks made in any markup of the committee provided that every member or

witness whose remarks are contained in the released portion is given a reasonable opportunity before release to correct their remarks.

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of the record of an executive session of the committee that is closed to the

public pursuant to Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the record shall not be published or made public in any

way except by majority vote of the committee after all members of the committee have had a reasonable opportunity to correct

their remarks for grammatical errors or to accurately reflect statements made.

Rule 19. Amendment of Rules.—The foregoing rules may be added to, modified, amended or suspended at any time.
