By authorizing the joint standing committee on legislative management to cover the expenses associated with printing bills and other necessary costs, the resolution underscores the importance of keeping legislative processes open to public scrutiny. The availability of printed materials ensures that lawmakers and the public have access to essential legislative documents, which is critical for informed decision-making.

Summary

SJ00002 is a resolution concerning the publication of the Legislative Bulletin and the associated printing of bills and other expenses for the 2019 session of the General Assembly. The resolution aims to ensure that notices related to caucuses, committee hearings, and meetings of interest to the members are published suitably.
