      effective date of this section, interim committees may not be requested by
      a legislative member by bill or resolution. No later than the ninety-fourth
      a day certain of a regular legislative session as established in the joint
      rules of the senate and house of representatives, a legislative
      member may submit a request in writing to the legislative council created
      in section 2-3-301 (1) regarding an issue that he or she wishes to study
      during the next interim between sessions. At minimum, the request must
      specify:
      
           (2)  No later than the one hundredth a day certain of a regular
      legislative session as established in the joint rules of the senate and
      house of representatives, the director of research of the legislative
      council shall determine the number of interim committee meetings that may
      be held within the legislative budget and shall provide that information to
      the executive committee of the legislative council.
      
           (3) (a)  No later than the one hundred eighth a day certain of a
      regular legislative session as established in the joint rules of the
      senate and house of representatives, the legislative council shall meet
      to review and prioritize requests made by legislative members pursuant to
      subsection (1) of this section. Such review and prioritization must take into
      account the information provided by the director of research of the
      legislative council as specified in subsection (2) of this section. The
      legislative council shall also determine if any of the prioritized interim
      committees may create a task force. If a task force is approved, such task
      force shall include no more than two legislative members, one from the
      majority party and one from the minority party of the interim committee.
      Legislative members on a task force are only entitled to receive necessary
      travel costs and are not entitled to per diem pursuant to section 2-2-307.
      For purposes of carrying out the task force's duties, the legislative council
      may accept and expend money, gifts, grants, donations, services, and
      in-kind donations from any public or private entity for any direct or indirect
      costs associated with the duties of the task force; except that the legislative
      council may not accept money, gifts, grants, donations, services, or in-kind
      donations if acceptance is subject to conditions that are inconsistent with
      state law or requires a predetermined conclusion or result from the task
      force. The legislative council shall request that the entity offering the
      money, gift, grant, donation, services, or in-kind donation submit a letter
      prior to the offer specifying the amount of money, gift, grant, or donation
      offered, or the estimated value of the services or in-kind donation offered,
      the period for which the money, gift, grant, donation, services, or in-kind
      donation is available, and the specific purposes for which the money, gift,
      grant, donation, services, or in-kind donation is to be used.
