Joint committee members may vote remotely up to three days through 2026

A joint committee member may vote remotely. This applies to every member of a joint committee. The member must notify the chair or co-chairs and the clerk. The clerk must mark each remote vote and track the member’s remote voting days. The member counts toward the number needed for the committee to act. This permission runs through the rest of 2026 and covers no more than three days per member.

A member with a disability may vote remotely from the meeting site. This applies to a joint committee member with a disability who is at the meeting site but cannot reach the meeting room because of the site’s physical condition. The meeting cannot move to an accessible place at the site. This vote does not use one of the member’s three remote voting days. The member counts toward the number needed for the committee to act. This permission runs through the rest of 2026.
