Assembly Front Desk

The Chief Clerk is elected by the legislative body to act as the Assembly’s parliamentarian to assure the constitutional, statutory, and standing rules are followed in processing of legislation and to publish appropriate legislative journals and histories. The Assembly front desk is the contact point for all legislative measures and processes all legislation from the point of introduction to final passage.

The front desk is the support staff of the Assembly Chief Clerk and consists of the Assistant Chief Clerk, History Clerk, Journal Clerk, Media Clerk, Recording Clerk, and Document Clerk. The front desk processes all legislative measures in order to meet constitutional, statutory, joint and house rules required for the legal processing of legislative measures. Failure to meet these requirements could negate the action of the legislative body.
