The bill amends Section 22-11-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 22-11, which pertains to the Joint Committee on Legislative Services (JCLS). The amendment changes the composition of the JCLS by making two key adjustments. Firstly, it inserts the positions of the president of the senate, the senate majority leader, and the senate minority leader into the committee's composition. Secondly, it removes the previous positions of the president and the minority leader of the senate, as well as the majority and minority leaders from the house of representatives. The house minority leader and the speaker of the house of representatives remain as members of the committee.
The explanation provided by the Legislative Council clarifies that the act specifically adds the senate majority leader to the JCLS and removes the house majority leader from it. The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon passage. This restructuring of the committee's composition is the sole focus of the bill, with no other sections or provisions mentioned.
