Joint Transportation Committee, Washington State Legislature
The Joint Transportation Committee is a joint committee of the Washington State Legislature.
According to the Revised Code of Washington, the Joint Transportation Committee is led by an executive committee made up of the chairs and rankings members of the House and Senate Transportation Committees. The chairs of both chambers' committees serve as co-chairs on the joint committee. The executive committee is responsible for appointing other House and Senate members of the respective chambers' Transportation Committees to the joint committee.[1]
Per Rule 9 of the Joint Rules of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Sixty-Seventh Legislature, joint legislative committees may be created by a concurrent resolution by either the state Senate or the House of Representatives and then passed through a majority vote of both houses.[2] Joint committees have the powers of subpoena, administering oaths, and issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses.[2] Before being able to issue any process, the chairperson of the joint committee must submit a statement of purpose for approval by the rules committees of both the House and the Senate.[2] All meetings held by joint committees must be conducted in accordance with the rules of both the Senate and the House.[3]
