ACTION NARRATIVE
12:03:58 PM
CHAIR JOHNNY ELLIS called the Senate Rules Standing Committee
meeting to order at 12:03 a.m. Present at the call to order were
Senators Stevens, Hoffman, Meyer, and Chair Ellis.
SCR 5-UNIFORM RULES; MASON'S MANUAL
12:04:55 PM
CHAIR ELLIS announced SCR 5 to be up for consideration.
DOUG GARDNER, Director, Division of Legislative Legal Services,
said he review the 2010 Mason's with Tam Cook, the former
director and they found that the 2010 Index ws very helpful
compared to old one. They also found that some cases were
outdated and some weren't as thoroughly reviewed as in the new
version. Most of the changes are undramatic and the current
version is a distinct improvement.
SENATOR STEVENS asked if when the new edition would be
available.
MR. GARDNER replied after July 1.
SENATOR STEVENS said it would be nice for someone like him to
lead the legislature through a review of Mason's as members need
to be brought up to date on changes as well as what it is about.
MR. GARDNER said a good time to do that would be at the
orientation at beginning of session.
12:09:16 PM
CHAIR ELLIS said the books are on order. Leadership has received
the 2010 edition already, and training is a good idea.
12:09:50 PM
SENATOR MEYER moved to report SCR 5 from committee with
individual recommendations and zero fiscal note. There were no
objections and it was so ordered.
12:10:21 PM
CHAIR ELLIS adjourned the meeting at 12:10 p.m.
