• Executive and Legislative Nominations
  
• Program Review and Investigations
  
• Regulations Review
  
• Joint Committee on Legislative Management

Judge Robert Satter describes the statutory committees in more detail:

Four committees are created by state statute.

Executive and Legislative Nominations considers and reports on all executive and legislative nominations requiring action by one or both chambers (except nominations of judges and workers' compensation commissioners, which are considered by the Judiciary Committee).

Programs Review and Investigations conducts investigations requested by the General Assembly; reviews administrative agencies' operations and practices to ascertain whether state programs are effective, serve their intended purpose, or require modification or elimination; and raises bills for corrective action.

Regulations Review reviews the regulations of administrative agencies; those it disapproves are submitted to the General Assembly to sustain or reject the committee's disapproval.

Finally, the Joint Committee on Legislative Management conducts the business affairs of the General assembly; it consists of the majority and minority leaders in both chambers, with the majority party members in control.
