Eliminate the ability of certain committees to meet during a legislative session

SB 68 would prevent certain study committees (those staffed by the Legislative Services Division) from meeting during active legislative sessions. It targets committees created to study policy issues and recommend changes, requiring them to conduct work only during legislative breaks. The bill exempts the Legislative Council, Legislative Finance Committee, Legislative Audit Committee, and committees established under legislative rules, allowing them to meet during sessions. This change aims to limit committee activity during the legislature's active period, focusing their work on interim periods when lawmakers are not in session.
