Authorizing the lieutenant governor and speaker to appoint joint committees.

HCR 122 is a procedural resolution renewing authorization for the Texas Legislature to create joint committees. It allows the lieutenant governor and House speaker to jointly appoint these committees, determine their membership (including state officials or citizens), and establish their focus areas through formal proclamations. The resolution also outlines procedures for budgeting, staffing (prioritizing existing resources), and committee structure, including subcommittees with approval from legislative leaders. This applies solely to internal legislative operations and does not create new laws or directly affect the public.
