11:03 AM -- 7. Other business

Senator Holbert shared that another member of the General Assembly had suggested ideas for possible bill drafts and wondered what the process should be in terms of receiving and analyzing those ideas.
Kate Meyer offered to have OLLS consider the ideas, decide whether they are fall under the Committee's charge, and, if approved, present memos at the next meeting. She then asked the Committee if they would like the staff to present a memo for each idea brought by a member of the General Assembly or whether they could use the same vetting process.
Senator Steadman added that the Committee on Legal Services had adopted a policy for out-of-cycle review of rules and raised the question of how much access members of the General Assembly who are not on the Committee should have to its process.
The Committee and Ms. Meyer and Ms. Forrestal agreed that the process would be that any member could bring an issue to staff, who will only prepare memos only when the issues raised are deemed appropriate for the Committee to consider.
