RESOLVED, That the procedure for requesting an alternate 1
member to replace a regular member during his or her absence at a 2
meeting must be as follows: 3
1. The Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall establish 4
a record of service of alternate members at meetings of the 5
Legislative Commission and shall maintain a list of the alternate 6
members for each individual Senator or group of Senators. Each list 7
must contain a numerical designation in ascending order for each 8
alternate member on the list. The initial sequence in which the 9
alternate members must be listed must correspond to their 10
designation as alternates in this resolution. 11
2. If a regular member of the Legislative Commission is unable 12
to attend a scheduled meeting of the Legislative Commission and 13
notifies the Secretary of the Legislative Commission, the Secretary 14
shall request the alternate member with the lowest numerical 15
designation on the appropriate list to replace the regular member at 16
the meeting. If the alternate member does not agree to serve, the 17
Secretary shall make the same request of the alternate member with 18
the next higher numerical designation on the list, and so on through 19
the list until an alternate member agrees to replace the regular 20
member. 21
3. An alternate member who agrees to replace a regular 22
member at a meeting of the Legislative Commission loses the 23
numerical designation he or she had on the appropriate list at 24
the time he or she was requested to serve. The Secretary of the 25
Legislative Commission shall, when the alternate member agrees to 26
replace the regular member, assign to that alternate member the 27
highest numerical designation on the appropriate list. At the same 28
time, the Secretary shall also reduce by one the numerical 29
designation on the appropriate list to those alternate members who 30
have higher numerical designations on the appropriate list than the 31
alternate member who has agreed to serve. 32
4. An alternate member who is requested to replace a regular 33
member at a meeting of the Legislative Commission, but who does 34
not agree to replace the regular member, does not lose the numerical 35
designation he or she had on the appropriate list at the time of the 36
request. 37
And be it further 38
RESOLVED, That this resolution becomes effective upon 39
adoption. 40
