The Joint Committee on Legislative Management shall provide space in a building under the supervision and control of said committee for the clerks' office. In addition to such assistants as the clerks require for the performance of their duties during sessions of the General Assembly, each clerk may, subject to the approval of said committee, appoint and fix the compensation of a permanent full-time assistant, whose term of office shall not be limited by that of the clerk first appointing him. Records and indexes of the proceedings of the current or last-preceding regular session and of any special sessions held following such regular session and before the convening of the next regular session shall be kept in the clerks' office, which shall be open at regular hours on all business days, whether or not the General Assembly is in session. When the General Assembly is not in session, the services of the full-time assistants may, with the approval of the clerks, be made available to said committee and to any committee of the General Assembly functioning between sessions.
