Finance Committee, Wisconsin State Assembly
The Finance Committee is a standing committee of the Wisconsin State Assembly.
The Assembly Finance Committee is made up of the Assembly members serving on the Joint Finance Committee. Assembly members on the joint finance committee are appointed in the same way as members are appointed to other standing Assembly committees.
Per the Assembly Rules, Wisconsin State Assembly committees are assigned by the Speaker of the Assembly as early as possible at the start of each odd-year legislative session. Unless specified by a rule, the Speaker sets the total number of members on each committee and the allocation of the number between majority and minority party members. The Speaker appoints majority party committee members with the first-named member serving as the committee's chair. The Speaker also appoints minority party committee members from a list of members compiled by the Minority Leader.[1] The first-nominated minority member of each standing committee serves as the ranking member unless the Speaker and Minority leader agree that he or she serves as the vice chair.[2]
Apart from committees upon which he or she serves as a regular member, the Speaker is recognized as a nonvoting member on all standing committees but does not count towards quorum requirements. A quorum is defined as at least fifty percent of the committee members.[2]
