Summary

The Joint Judiciary Committee read and approved organizational rules (including a 51% quorum requirement for each chamber), approved prior meeting minutes and adjourned by voice votes recorded as "ayes have it."

Senator Mike Stewart opened the committee's organizational meeting; staff read proposed committee rules including quorum, voting and minutes procedures. The rules text requires a quorum consisting of at least 51% of members from each chamber, states action requires a majority of the quorum present, and directs staff to prepare minutes with limited electronic recording for clerical use.

A motion to approve the minutes from the prior meeting was made and the committee adopted the minutes by voice vote. A separate motion to adopt the committee's organizational rules also carried by voice vote. The chair called for any miscellaneous business; members exchanged brief remarks about collegiality and communication across chambers.

With no further business, a motion to adjourn was offered and approved by voice vote.

All recorded votes in the transcript were voice votes; no roll-call tallies for individual members were provided in the minutes read during the meeting.
