Authorizing the creation and appointment of joint legislative study committees.
This resolution authorizes Texas legislators to create joint study committees by mutual agreement between the Senate and House presiding officers. It outlines procedures for forming committees (including membership composition), requiring a joint proclamation identifying study topics and members, and directing committees to use existing staff resources. The resolution also establishes steps for budget proposals, funding approvals, and subcommittee creation with presiding officer approval. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new policy but formalizes how committees operate during the 89th Legislature.
