DELAWARE STATE SENATE
153rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY
SENATE BILL NO. 54
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE AND
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
1 Section 1. Amend § 10203, Title 29 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and
2 insertions as shown by underline as follows:
3 § 10203. Committee composition; chair and vice chair; appointment; quorum; reimbursement; hearings.
4 (c) Quorum. — (1) A quorum consists of at least 6 committee members. A quorum must be present in order to
5 transact business, except that a quorum is not required if the only business the Committee is transacting is to hear an entity
6 under review give a presentation.
7 (2) A proposition is carried by a majority of the entire Committee, unless a statute or rule requires a larger
8 number of affirmative votes. A vacancy on the Committee is not counted to determine the number of members needed
9 to achieve a majority.
10 (3) A member who participates in a meeting virtually rather than being physically present at the meeting is not
11 counted toward quorum in determining whether the Committee may transact business. However, a member
12 participating in a meeting virtually may vote as if the member were physically present at the meeting. This paragraph
13 does not apply if the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives issue a
14 public notice that members of the Senate or House of Representatives or a legislative committee are authorized to
15 convene and conduct a virtual meeting due to an emergency. [Repealed.]
SYNOPSIS
