Amending Rule 41 of the Senate Permanent Rules.

This Senate Resolution (SR 8663) amends Rule 41 of the Senate's Permanent Rules to clarify the process for appointing and confirming committees. It specifies that the Senate president appoints all committees (conference, special, joint, and standing), and these appointments must be confirmed by the full Senate. If the Senate refuses confirmation, committees would instead be elected by the Senate. The resolution also updates the list of standing committees and their membership sizes as part of this procedural change.
