  • Committee Handbook New Mexico Legislature
    COMMITTEE HANDBOOK for the NEW MEXICO LEGISLATURE New Mexico Legislative Council Service Santa Fe, New Mexico 2012 REVISION prepared by: The New Mexico Legislative Council Service 411 State Capitol Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (505) 986-4600 www.nmlegis.gov 202.190198 PREFACE Someone once defined a committee as a collection of people who individually believe that something must be done and who collectively decide that nothing can be done. Whether or not this definition has merit, it is difficult to imagine the work of a legislative body being accomplished without reliance upon the committee system. Every session, American legislative bodies are faced with thousands of bills, resolutions and memorials upon which to act. Meaningful deliberation on each of these measures by the entire legislative body is not possible. Therefore, the job must be broken up and distributed among the "miniature legislatures" called standing or substantive committees. In New Mexico, where the constitution confines legislative action to a specified number of calendar days, the work of such committees assumes even greater importance. Because the role of committees is vital to the legislative process, it is necessary for their efficient operation that individual members of the senate and house and their staffs understand committee functioning and procedure, as well as their own roles on the committees. For this reason, the legislative council service published in 1963 the first Committee Handbook for New Mexico legislators. This publication is the sixth revision of that document. i The Committee Handbook is intended to be used as a guide and working tool for committee chairs, vice chairs, members and staff.

  • Joint Project on Term Limits 2004
    Kansas: A Retro Approach to Lawmaking By Michael A. Smith, The University of Kansas Brenda Erickson, National Conference of State Legislatures Joint Project on Term Limits 2004 National Conference of State Legislatures Council of State Governments State Legislative Leaders’ Foundation 7700 East First Place Denver, CO 80230-7143 (303) 364-7700 • fax (303) 364-7800 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 515 Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 624-5400 • fax (202) 737-1069 http://www.ncsl.org © 2005 by the National Conference of State Legislatures. All rights reserved. Introduction Among the fifty state legislatures, Kansas’s might be termed a retro approach to governing. The state lacks the petition initiative, and therefore it also lacks many of the complicating factors that have changed governance in many other U.S. states. Kansas has no citizen-initiated tax cap such as California’s Proposition 13, Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or Missouri’s Hancock Amendment. Furthermore, the state still maintains a citizen legislature with low pay, limited staff, and short sessions. And finally, Kansas does not have term limits on its legislators. The legislative process in Kansas has changed recently to accommodate a more-complex government, a changing political climate, and the advent of new information technology. But overall, Kansas’s Legislature has not changed radically in its functioning during the past ten years. Kansas is unlikely to have legislative term limits anytime in the foreseeable future. Because the Sunflower State lacks the petition initiative, the only way to pass such a policy in the state would be for the legislators themselves to send voters a constitutional amendment limiting their own terms—an unlikely prospect, especially given the near-universal disdain for term limits expressed by legislators during our interviews.

The idea behind the pro­ gram was to give one hundred and twenty Minnesota high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to see Minnesota government in operation. With a grant from the Minnesota Bicentennial Commission and the Minnesota Government Learning Center, URBAN CONCERNS WORKSHOPS INC. took six groups of twenty students to the Minnesota Capitol during the 1976 Legislative Session. The students had the opportunity to observe the Legislature in opera­ tion for one week, meet with state elected officials, Congressmen, Legislators, lobbyists, reporters, and legislative staff members. Representatives of both political parties talked with the stu­ dents and mock precinct caucuses were conducted. Each student also had the chance to visit with his or her legislator. With the success of the 1976 program, URBAN CONCERNS decided to continue the program even after the Bicentennial Celebration was over. Funded by the Minnesota Government Learning Center and individual contributors, the 1977 program was expanded. Even though the name remains PROJECT 120, one hundred and sixty Minne­ sota high school juniors and seniors will go to the Capitol in 1977. Instead of six weeks the program will run eight. More emphasis will be placed on what the students can do when they return home.
