6.02 COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP. No less than 30 days prior to the opening of a regular session of the Legislature, the Speaker-designate shall provide the minority group with a list of the standing committees proposed for the session. The Speaker-designate shall also designate the number of minority members to be appointed to each committee and may require general membership guidelines to be followed in the selection of committee members.
If the minority leader submits to the Speaker-designate, at least 15 days prior to the opening of the session, a list of proposed committee assignments for the minority group, which complies with the numbers and guidelines provided, the Speaker shall make such proposed assignments with the purpose of attaining proportionate representation on the committees for the minority group.
No committee of the House shall have exclusive membership from any one profession, occupation or vocation.
A member may not serve as the chair of the same standing committee, or a standing committee with substantially the same jurisdiction, during more than three consecutive regular biennial sessions. Service as the chair before the 79th legislature does not count in applying this limitation. Service during a biennial session for less than three months does not count in applying this limitation. This rule does not apply to service as chair of the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administration or the Committee on Ways and Means.
