MINOR
The bill was renumbered from HCR 113 to HCR 113 Engrossed and underwent significant structural reorganization. The most critical change is the addition of a new clause requiring that a majority of the Task Force members constitute a quorum and that all official actions require an affirmative vote of a majority of the members. This amendment clarifies the voting mechanics and decision-making authority of the committee.
REQUIREMENT
Added a specific requirement that a majority of Task Force members must be present to constitute a quorum and that all official actions require a majority vote.
TECHNICAL
The document was renumbered from 'HCR 113 Original' to 'HCR 113 Engrossed' and the text was reorganized and renumbered, likely due to amendments or formatting corrections during the legislative process.
