of statutes to bring them into conformity with this act.

The Legislative Council could assign the topic to an existing interim study committee or establish a new
interim study committee to study this topic during the next interim. Interim study committees operate on
budgets established by the Legislative Council based on committee size. Legislative Council resolutions in
the past have established budgets for interim study committees in the amount of $13,500 per interim for
committees with fewer than 16 members and $17,500 for committees with 16 members or more. If the
Legislative Council were to assign this topic to an existing committee and the committee were to have any
extra meetings to address this topic, there would be additional expenditures for legislator per diem and travel
reimbursement for the committee members. Any additional expenditures must be within the committee’s
budget.
