2003 - 2004 LEGISLATURE

2003 Senate BILL 291

October 21, 2003 - Introduced by Law Revision Committee. Referred to Committee on Homeland Security, Veterans and Military Affairs and Government Reform.

SB291,1,5 An Act to renumber and amend 13.91 (2) (f); and to create 13.91 (2) (e) of the statutes; relating to: Legislative Council staff director attendance at certain midwest and national meetings in which the Commission on Uniform State Laws participates (suggested as remedial legislation by the Legislative Council staff).

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the director of the Legislative Council staff must attend, personally or through a professional employee of the Legislative Council staff designated by him or her, all meetings of the Commission on Uniform State Laws and any midwest and national meetings in which the commission participates. This bill provides that the director must attend only such meetings that will benefit the operations of the Legislative Council staff.
