How are the Standing Committees structured?
There are 12 committees: Agriculture and Energy; Budgets and Revenue; Communications, Financial Services and Interstate Commerce; Education; Environment; Health; Human Services and Welfare; Labor and Economic Development; Law and Criminal Justice; Legislative Effectiveness; Redistricting and Elections; and Transportation. The Fall and Spring Forums have a structure similar to that of the NCSL Legislative Summit and staff section training conferences. Plenary sessions address topics of wide interest, and each committee holds sessions on a variety of topics.
