House Bill 1056 amends the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1961 to change the composition of the house general investigating committee from five house members to not fewer than five house members appointed by the speaker. A conforming change revises a quorum of the committee from three members to a majority. The bill provides that information held by the committee, which if held by a law enforcement agency or prosecutor would be unavailable for public disclosure under the open records exception for law enforcement and prosecutorial information, is confidential and likewise unavailable for public disclosure by the committee.
