(By Senator Carmichael (Mr. President))
[Introduced January 8, 2020]
Creating a Select Committee on Children and Families for the Eighty-Fourth Legislature.
Resolved by the Senate:
That for the Eighty-Fourth Legislature there is hereby created a Select Committee on Children and Families. This committee shall consist of nine members appointed by the Presiding Officer.

Further Resolved, That the Senate hereby authorizes the Select Committee on Children and Families to meet and be paid during interims between regular sessions of the Legislature; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate hereby authorizes the Select Committee on Children and Families to meet at other times to be determined by the chairman, subject to the approval of the Presiding Officer; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the purpose of any such meetings would relate to gathering information regarding matters relating to children and families; and, be it
Further Resolved, That members and staff of such committee are hereby authorized to receive payment of travel and interim expenses and other compensation as provided by law.
