2:10 p.m. — Decision Tree Exercise

Michael Adams, Legislative Information Services, presented a decision tree model for dealing with a pandemic event both when the legislature is in session and when it is in recess (Attachment G). Mr. Adams demonstrated the decision tree model and discussed its key components, including the emergency call tree which is already in place. He said that adopting rule changes in advance of an epidemic would be key is rephasing the legislative session to work around a pandemic event.

2:23 p.m — Other Business/Next Meeting Dates

Senator Hagedorn concluded that while running a bill this session might not be necessary, it would be important to have the rule changes prepared prior to the start of the next legislative session. Emergency rules could be adopted in special session or at the beginning of the 2009 session, he said. The next meeting was scheduled for April 11.
