This bill proposes amendments to the procedures and duties of the commission on Native American affairs, specifically changing the requirements for a quorum for voting purposes. The current law stipulates that a quorum requires 9 members, but the bill seeks to alter this by deleting the fixed number and instead defining a quorum as 50 percent of the appointed members plus one additional member.

The bill is concise and contains only two sections. The first section outlines the amendment to the quorum requirement, while the second section establishes that the act shall take effect 60 days after its passage. The change aims to potentially make it easier for the commission to achieve a quorum and conduct official business, especially if the total number of appointed members changes.
