Modifies Senate Rule 12 to authorize members of a standing committee of the Senate to elect the chair of the committee

This bill (SR 541) amends Senate Rule 12 to change how committee chairs are selected. It allows members of a standing Senate committee to directly elect their committee chair, rather than having the chair appointed by Senate leadership. This procedural change affects only the internal operations of Senate committees and does not alter public policy or impact citizens. The bill focuses solely on modifying the committee selection process within the Senate.
