members, when engaged in their duties as members of the committee	816
on days when there is not a voting session of the member's house	817
of the general assembly, shall be paid at the per diem rate of one	818
hundred fifty dollars, and their necessary traveling expenses,	819
which shall be paid from the funds appropriated for the payment of	820
expenses of legislative committees.	821

The committee has the same powers as other standing or select	822
committees of the general assembly. Six members constitute a	823
quorum, and the concurrence of six members is required for the	824
recommendation of a concurrent resolution invalidating a proposed	825
or effective rule, amendment, rescission, or part thereof, or for	826
the suspension of a rule, amendment, rescission, or part thereof,	827
under division (I) of section 119.03 ~~or section 119.031~~ of the	828
Revised Code.	829

speaker, as the case may be, may designate a substitute from the	831
same house and political party as the absent member. The	832
substitute shall serve on the committee in the member's absence,	833
and is entitled to perform the duties of a member of the	834
committee. For serving on the committee, the substitute shall be	835
paid the same per diem and necessary traveling expenses as the	836
substitute would be entitled to receive if the substitute were a	837
member of the committee.	838

The president or speaker shall inform the executive director	839
of the committee of a substitution. If the executive director	840
learns of a substitution sufficiently in advance of the meeting of	841
the committee the substitute is to attend, the executive director	842
shall publish notice of the substitution on the internet, make	843
reasonable effort to inform of the substitution persons who are	844
known to the executive director to be interested in rules that are	845
scheduled for review at the meeting, and inform of the	846
substitution persons who inquire of the executive director	847
concerning the meeting.	848

The committee may meet during periods in which the general	849
assembly has adjourned. At meetings of the committee, the	850
committee may request a rule-making agency, as defined in section	851
119.01 of the Revised Code, to provide information relative to the	852
agency's implementation of its statutory authority.	853

A member of the committee, and the executive director and	854
staff of the committee, are entitled in their official capacities	855
to attend, but not in their official capacities to participate in,	856
a public hearing conducted by a rule-making agency on a proposed	857
rule, amendment, or rescission.	858

legislative agent;	864

purposes of division (A) of this section, where a trade	868
association or other charitable or fraternal organization that is	869
exempt from federal income taxation under subsection 501(c) of the	870
federal Internal Revenue Code is the employer, the statement need	871
not list the names and addresses of each member of the association	872
or organization, so long as the association or organization itself	873
is listed.	874

(3) A brief description of the type of legislation to which	875
the engagement relates.	876

(B) In addition to the initial registration statement	877
