Joint rule 11
JOINT RULE 11 – Proposes an amendment to Joint Rule 11 to provide that the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee shall be cochairmen of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee.

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.

Since this resolution deals only with internal legislative procedures, there is no impact to any public funds.
