When does membership (and Chair/Vice-Chair) of the JBC Change?
The membership of the Joint Budget Committee is determined by the leadership in the House and Senate. Traditionally, changes to the composition of the Joint Budget Committee occur before the Governor's budget submission on November 1st, or soon after the election in an election year.
When is "Upon Adjournment"?
