The minutes of the June 13, 2006 Legislative Council meeting are now available. The Legislative Council is the administrative arm of the General Assembly. It’s the main manifestation of the legislature while the General Assembly is not in session. Rep. Bosma is the Chair and Sen. Garton is the Vice-Chair.
Among other things, they assigned topics of study to study committees. Some of the studies are required by legislation — usually substantive legislation that couldn’t get passed morphs into a study committee that is offered as sort of a consolation prize, but other topics of study are by request of the Legislative Council directly. They range from the significant — survey of FSSA performance to the less so — study restraint of trade issues with contact lense sales.
Also of significance was the announcement that the Executive Director of the Legislative Services Agency, Phil “Satch” Sachtleben will be stepping down.
