Commissioners' Resolutions
This section provides commissioners a basic overview regarding the process for developing and submitting a commissioners' resolution, sometimes referred to as a "CR." It also introduces the resource area here in "GA225 Connections" providing networking and collaboration tools that can be used to locate commissioners with a shared interest in drafting a resolution. Because there a specific limits on what can be introduced as "new business" for the assembly by means of commissioners' resolutions, it is important to carefully review the Standing Rules relating to them when deciding whether or not to explore interests in developing a CR.

One of the differences between the "hybrid" 225th General Assembly (2022) and the traditional, "in-person" assemblies of prior years is that not all commissioners will be physically present at the same time. This section gives an overview of the process and supports for developing and submitting a commissioners' resolution that have been developed to facilitate connections between commissioners in the weeks preceding the assembly. Full details and step-by-step guidance are provided in the "Commissioners' Resolution" resource in the "Advocacy" hub of this site.

Don't let the title mislead you; this resource collection has plenty of information not only for those in committee leadership but also for commissioners and advisory delegates--and even those observing and participating in the General Assembly outside of official capacities. You will learn about the "Public Hearing" process for this hybrid assembly, how various advisory and advocacy committees will support your deliberations and discernment, and more.
