[Issue 29.12]
Senate Executive Committee
Issue Referral
The committee is asked to evaluate whether a change in Senate terms from two to three years
would improve the overall functioning of the Senate. Issues to consider include, but are not
limited to stability, workload, and committee functioning. Considerations raised include
increasing continuity, balancing new ideas v. continuity, increasing non-senator representation
on committees to increase continuity, and the consideration that a 3-year term will lead to a 6
year maximum service limit, rather than a 4 year maximum limit. The committee is asked to
report to the Senate by January 2012.
7/26/2011
2011-12 Senate Executive Committee charge
Committee on Administration and Budget is asked to conduct a complete review of the Senate
Charter, By-laws and Rules of Order and make specific recommendations for any changes
necessary to better reflect the current functioning of the Senate and/or to eliminate conflicting
language. It shall consult with the Senate Executive Committee and other committees as needed
and will attempt to take key changes to a preliminary vote of the Senate when possible, so as to
avoid the end product having to be considered as a whole.
