five members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the
Speaker, and three persons to be appointed by the Governor.
The committee shall make a study to determine whether, and to what
extent, the various state boards, committees, commissions, agencies, and
councils should be restructured. The committee's study must be
conducted over a twelve-month period. At the end of that period, the
committee shall present a written report of its findings, and any
recommendations, to the Governor and the General Assembly.
