1 Committee Procedures 4-61 Rules Committees The parliamentary rules and procedures that govern each assembly lie at the heart of the legislative process. Legislative rules provide order, allow for the reasonable management of deliberations and debate, and ensure internal accountability. table rules protect the rights of both majority and minority members. ecause parliamentary procedures are vital to the legislative process, it is common for chambers to create a committee whose jurisdiction covers legislative rules. More than 70 percent of legislative assemblies reported having rules committees. Only the following chambers responded that they did not. Colorado ouse Connecticut enate and ouse Louisiana enate and ouse Michigan ouse Nevada enate and Assembly New Mexico ouse Texas enate Make-up of a rules committee. Committee chairs generally are appointed by a designated authority such as the presiding officer of the senate or house, another chamber leader or a committee on committees. In 36 legislative chambers, rules committees are no exception to this practice, and an appointed legislator serves as the head of the committee. In another third of the chambers, however, a legislative leader is designated to fill this position. Table illustrates who acts as the rules committee chair. There can be no committee without members. Table highlights who selects lawmakers to serve on rules committees. In about half the legislative assemblies, the presiding officer appoints the rules committee members. In 13 chambers, another legislative leader makes the selections. eniority systems are used by the senates in Arkansas, Idaho and Minnesota. ometimes, all or part of the rules committee membership is set by statute or chamber rule; this is true in six legislative bodies. The number of members serving on rules committees is shown in Table This make-up may be affected if membership must be proportional that is, the percentage of majority and minority members serving on the committee is approximately equal to the percentage of the full body that each party controls.

Alaska enate and ouse Arizona ouse Delaware ouse Idaho enate and ouse Illinois enate and ouse Indiana ouse Kentucky enate Maine ouse Michigan enate Minnesota enate Missouri enate and ouse Montana enate and ouse New ampshire enate and ouse New Mexico enate New York Assembly North Dakota enate and ouse Ohio enate and ouse Oklahoma ouse Oregon enate Pennsylvania enate outh Dakota enate and ouse Tennessee enate and ouse Washington enate and ouse West Virginia ouse Wisconsin enate American amoa ouse Puerto Rico enate Powers and duties of rules committees. Tables and illustrate the powers and duties assigned to rules committees. As the name implies, chamber rules often fall within the committee jurisdiction. The committee writes the rules in 43 chambers and deals with proposed amendments in 53 legislative assemblies. In 12 bodies, the committee makes rulings on questions of parliamentary procedure. Often, the duties of the rules committee reach far beyond rules and procedure. For example, 22 legislative assemblies responded that their rules committees are responsible for investigating ethics or harassment charges. In seven chambers, the committee issues opinions regarding lobbying regulations. The rules committees of the California enate, Iowa ouse, Minnesota enate and ouse, Ohio enate, Pennsylvania ouse, Rhode Island ouse, Virginia enate, West Virginia enate and Wisconsin enate oversee their respective chamber s budgets. Legislative employees fall under rules committee jurisdiction in the California enate, Iowa ouse, Minnesota enate and ouse, Rhode Island ouse, Virginia enate, West Virginia enate, Wisconsin enate and American amoa ouse. More than half the legislative chambers require the rules committee to provide notice of meetings.
