the same day as, the conflicting meetings.
When the majority of the members of a standing committee
believe that a certain bill or resolution in the possession of
the standing committee should be considered and acted upon by
such committee, they may request the chair to include the same
as part of the business of a committee meeting. Upon failure of
the chair to comply with such request, the membership may
require that such bill be considered by written motion made and
approved by a majority vote of the entire membership to which
such committee is entitled.
Whenever the phrase "majority of members of a standing
committee or subcommittee" is used in these rules, it shall mean
majority of the entire membership to which a standing committee
or subcommittee is entitled, unless the context thereof
indicates a different intent.
The Committee on Appropriations shall have the power to issue
subpoenas under the hand and seal of its chair commanding any
person to appear before it and answer questions touching matters
properly being inquired into by the committee, which matters
shall include data from any fund administered by the
Commonwealth, and to produce such books, papers, records,
accounts, reports, documents and data and information produced
and stored by any electronic data processing system as the
committee deems necessary. Such subpoenas may be served upon any
person and shall have the force and effect of subpoenas issued
out of the courts of this Commonwealth. Any person who willfully
neglects or refuses to testify before the committee or to
produce any books, papers, records, accounts, reports, documents
or data and information produced and stored by any electronic
