Committee Type : Administrative Committee, Ad-hoc
Committee Purpose
The Law & Legislation Committee differs from most of the other Association Committees. The Law & Legislation Committee is an ad-hoc committee, meaning it is a temporary committee created as needed, as opposed to a standing committee.
This committee is created when the need for such a committee arises, such as when grievances are filed and must be addressed.
