  • 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.

Confidentiality in Mediation: FloridaSenate Bill 1970' Bill Number: Florida Senate Bill 1970 Summary: This bill creates the Mediation Confidentiality and Privilege Act. It provides for standardized proceedings, so that both court-ordered and non court-ordered mediation are entitled to the same confidentiality status. Status: Signed by Governor, June 10, 2004 1. Introduction Confidentiality in mediation communications is an issue of vital importance to all those involved. The assurance of confidentiality in mediation proceedings promotes openness and candor between the parties. Often, it is openness that will lead parties to a resolution of a dispute. With the passage of Senate Bill 1970 the Florida legislature has recognized the importance that confidentiality protections play in the encouragement of successful mediations.

  • Prayer Practices
    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

  • Senate Appropriations Committee Meeting March 17Th 2021 Brent and Trish Levinson - Affinity Global Solutions Page 1 of 2
    Testimony of Brent and Trish Levinson for the North Dakota Senate Appropriations Public Hearing on March 17th 2021. Chairman Holmberg and committee members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, This testimony is presented by Brent and Trish Levinson the owners of Affinity Global Solutions (AGS) whose IBARS (Internet Budget Analysis and Reporting System) product is used to source, analyze, and generate publications for the State's budget. In the upcoming biennium IBARS is to be replaced through a project sponsored by OMB and the Governor's Office. OMB has requested an "annual contract for a new budget system" with a request amount of $1,230,100 (see Exhibits A and B) with additional funding to be sourced through the Strategic Investment and Improvement Fund. It is unclear what the intent and scope of this contract is. Perhaps, this is a long term software as a service (SaaS) contract for $1,230,100 per year where the State owns no solution? AGS has been a partner with the State of North Dakota in sourcing, analyzing and producing reports and publications for the State's budget for over 25 years. The origins of IBARS were built to meet the needs of North Dakota's State budgeting process and then enhanced to meet the needs of many other States. For example, IBARS went live in December 2019 for the State of New Jersey. IBARS is an actively supported, developed, vibrant and competitive product built by and for North Dakotans. 2020 maintenance of IBARS for the State of North Dakota was $93,635. North Dakota has a perpetual license for IBARS.

Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

The ATA is the only national organization completely focused on advancing telehealth. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and high-quality care whenever and wherever they need it. This empowers the health care system to provide services to millions more patients every year in an efficacious manner. The ATA represents a broad and inclusive coalition of technology solution providers and payers, as well as partner organizations and alliances, working to advance industry adoption of telehealth, promote responsible policy, advocate for government and market normalization, and provide education and resources to help integrate virtual care into emerging, value-based modalities. Senate Bill 970 serves as an important and rational expansion of Hawaii’s state telehealth policy.

  • Cable Coverage of Legislative Proceedings
    Cable Coverage of Legislative Proceedings Voters are able to watch federal government proceedings via c-span, but in many areas including Vermont, citizens are unable to view state governments in action on television. There are new developments and new services in today’s communication and cable markets. Local governments are exploring opportunities in telecommunications and cable. There are no fewer than 19 states that currently offer unedited cable coverage of gov ernment proceedings. Alaska - Juneau PBS station KTOO provides about 14 hours per day of coverage of the Alaska legislature, distributed on a dedicated digital satellite channel to the majority of cable systems statewide. The state of Alaska has provide d the digital encoder and receivers, but KTOO pays for the satellite channel and production costs with non-state funds, including a major grant from the city of Juneau. California - the California Senate and Assembly separately operate and staff production of proceedings. The signal is given to the California channel, a nonprofit entity of the cable industry, which satellite uplinks the prog ramming throughout California. Six and one-half hours per day are uplinked. The California channel independently produces other types of government-related coverage including proceedings of state agencies, regulatory boards and public affairs specials. It was strict adherence to C-span model. They are funded by voluntary contributions from every cable system operated in California. Monthly contributions coming from 186 cable operators. These operators represent 6.2 million cable subscribers. Currentl y there are 108 cable systems carrying programming to over 4.9 million.
