[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1505727, member: 5151"] The committees are based on Article V Section 30 Clause 2. [indent]Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.[/indent] In the House Rules (this year, HR1008), the House grants the following power to the Speaker as a rule governing the proceedings of the House in House Rule 1.8: [indent] (a) The Speaker shall create, abolish and establish the jurisdiction of all standing committees, special committees and subcommittees of the House of Representatives. (b) The Speaker shall appoint the chairpersons and vicechairpersons of all standing committees, special committees and subcommittees of the House of Representatives and shall appoint the cochairpersons and covice-chairpersons from the House for any joint committees of the Legislature. (c) The Speaker shall appoint the membership of all standing committees, special committees and subcommittees of the House of Representatives and shall appoint the members constituting the House’s delegation to any joint committees of the Legislature. (d) All chairpersons, cochairpersons, vice-chairpersons, covice-chairpersons and members of any House committee, subcommittee or joint committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Speaker. (e) The Speaker shall be an ex officio voting member of all standing, special and joint committees. [/indent] I've been looking into this off and on for quite a while and have a 60%-finished blog post drafted on the subject, including why that obviously circumvents the intent of the framers of the Oklahoma Constitution and what Oklahoma taxpayers can (and can't) do about it. The part about three readings being required in each Chamber, I can't find a way for the legislature to circumvent that one. [/QUOTE]
