AN ACT relating to legislative affairs; making various changes relating to legislative interim committees and presiding
Existing law establishes various legislative interim committees that are created or authorized to conduct studies or investigations or perform other legislative business during the interim between legislative sessions, and existing law provides for the appointment or designation of chairs and vice chairs of such interim committees. (Chapter 218E of NRS, NRS 232B.210-232B.250) Existing law also contains provisions that apply exclusively to such interim committees without applying to any session committees. (NRS 218E.105-218E.140) Under existing common-law principles of parliamentary law, the chair of a committee serves as the presiding officer of the committee and may take, direct or require any necessary and reasonable actions to carry out the committee's management, government, budget, meetings and proceedings, subject to the laws and rules governing the committee. In addition, if a vacancy occurs in the position of chair, or if the chair is prohibited or disqualified from participating or acting on a particular matter for any reason or is absent, disabled or otherwise unavailable or unable to carry out the position for any reason, the vice chair of the committee serves as the acting chair, with all the powers, privileges and immunities of the position of chair, until the vacancy is filled or the chair is eligible, available or able to carry out the position again, as applicable.
