Background:  In 1989, a Senate resolution created the Senate Select Committee on Washington 2000 A.D.  The duties of the committee are to develop a process for the identification and refinement of goals and objectives for the state of Washington and to implement a legislative process for achieving these goals and objectives.  The committee is composed of six members of the Senate, three from each caucus.  Members are appointed to the committee by the lieutenant governor.  The committee is to continue to exist until it has accomplished its objectives, and the committee is to solicit input from the private sector, the public sector, and academia.

Summary:  The committee is changed from the Senate Select Committee on Washington 2000 A.D. to the Joint Select Committee on Washington 2000.  Membership on the committee is expanded to 12 members, six from the Senate and six from the House of Representatives.  The lieutenant governor continues to appoint members from the Senate to the committee, three from each caucus.  The speaker of the House is to appoint the six members of the House of Representatives, three from each caucus.  Appointments will be made such that members currently serving on the Senate Select Committee continue to serve on the Joint Select Committee.
