Committee on Children and Poverty. This committee shall consist of
the following eleven members: the Chairman of the Committee on
Finance; Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary; Chairman of
the Committee on Health and Human Resources; Chairman of the
Committee on Education; and seven members to be appointed by the
President; and, be it
Further Resolved, That, notwithstanding the provisions of any
Senate rule to the contrary, this committee shall have jurisdiction
of legislative proposals regarding children and poverty and related
issues as the President may deem appropriate: Provided, That
reference of a bill to the Select Committee on Children and Poverty
does not preclude a standing committee of the Senate from
consideration of legislation addressing the same subject within its
jurisdiction. The rules of the Senate governing standing
committees shall govern the actions and proceedings of this committee insofar as applicable; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate hereby authorizes the Select
Committee on Children and Poverty to meet and be paid during the
interim meetings scheduled for the eighty-first Legislature; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Select Committee on Children and
Poverty meet at other times and locations to be determined by the
chairman, subject to the approval of the President of the Senate;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the members and staff of the Select
Committee on Children and Poverty are hereby authorized to receive
