3.056 DESIGNATION OF SUCCESSOR COMMITTEE.
If a law assigns a power or duty to a named legislative committee or its chair, and the
committee has been renamed or no longer exists, the speaker of the house of representatives or the
senate Committee on Rules and Administration shall designate the successor committee or chair
for the law as provided in this section. If the committee has been renamed but retains jurisdiction
of the subject of the power or duty, the speaker or senate committee shall designate the renamed
committee as successor. If the committee has been renamed and jurisdiction of the subject of the
power or duty has been transferred to another committee, the speaker or senate committee shall
designate the committee with current jurisdiction as the successor. If the named committee no
longer exists, the speaker or senate committee shall designate as successor the committee with the
jurisdiction that most closely corresponds with the former jurisdiction of the named committee.
The house of representatives and the senate shall maintain a list on the World Wide Web of
renamed or successor committees to committees that are referenced in law.
