ARTICLE VI - COMMITTEES - POWERS AND DUTIES

6.04 COMMITTEE PROCEDURES. Meetings of all committees of the House shall be open to the public except for any executive sessions which the committee on ethics deems necessary under Rule 6.10. For purposes of this requirement, a meeting occurs when a quorum is present and action is taken regarding a matter within the jurisdiction of the committee, except that this requirement does not apply to a meeting of a caucus of members of a committee from the same political party.

A majority of members of any committee shall constitute a quorum.

The Rules of the House shall be observed in all committees wherever they are applicable.

Any member of any committee may demand a roll call on any bill, resolution, report, motion or amendment before the committee. Only upon such demand being made shall the roll be called and the vote of each member on the bill, resolution, report, motion or amendment be recorded in the committee minutes, together with the name of the member demanding the roll call.

A committee may reconsider any action so long as the matter remains in the possession of the committee. A committee member need not have voted with the prevailing side in order to move reconsideration.
