Section 29-2-3

Meetings; chairman and vice-chairman; quorum.

Within 10 days after members of the Joint Transportation Committee are appointed as provided in this article, the committee shall convene at a place and time designated by the President of the Senate in written notice given to each member at least five days in advance or without notice upon unanimous consent of the members of the Joint Transportation Committee. At the meeting, and at the initial meeting during each session of the Legislature, the Joint Transportation Committee shall elect from its membership a chair and vice-chair. The Joint Transportation Committee shall meet, at the request of its chair or as its members shall determine, in both cases upon written notice at least five days in advance or without notice upon unanimous consent of its membership; provided, that the committee shall meet at least once each three months. Decisions of the Joint Transportation Committee may be made by a majority of the members present and voting at any meeting as long as a quorum is in attendance. A quorum shall consist of any eight members. If less than a quorum is present at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, those members who are present may adjourn the meeting from time to time and a majority vote of the members present shall be sufficient, without any notice other than by announcement at the meeting, to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is in attendance. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
