Joint Order Allowing Reports Of Ought Not To Pass To Be Made After The Committee Vote

This bill amends Maine's legislative committee rules to allow absent committee members to register their vote on a report up to noon on the second business day after the vote. It specifically permits late voting only for reports that were already voted on during the committee session, not for creating new reports like "Ought Not to Pass." The change applies to all committee reports on bills, ensuring all members' votes are recorded even if they missed the initial vote. This affects committee members and the process for finalizing committee recommendations before bills move to the full legislature. The rule change streamlines vote recording without altering the committee's substantive decisions.
