Rules Committee, Arkansas House of Representatives
The House Rules Committee is a standing committee of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Per the House Rules, committees of the Arkansas House of Representatives are assigned by the four Congressional District Caucuses. Each caucus selects five members for each committee. Each member of the House of Representatives serves on two standing committees.[1] A majority of appointed members make up a committee's quorum. The Speaker of the House serves as an ex officio member of any committee, but does not count towards quorum.[2]
