STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31268 / HCR023
This resolution amends the joint rules of the Idaho House of Representatives and the Senate. In doing so, it
provides a Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee (JFAC) exception to the provision in the joint rules that
states that the Senate committee chairman will chair all joint committees of the House and Senate. Putting this
JFAC exception into the joint rules is needed to align the joint rules with decades of successful practice, in which
the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee have
functioned as co-equal JFAC co-chairs.
FISCAL NOTE
Since this resolution deals only with internal legislative procedures, there is no impact to any public funds.
