Legislative Council unanimously moves into executive session to discuss State Capitol security

Madam Chair said the Legislative Council would meet in executive session to consider security arrangements at the State Capitol and to receive legal advice. The motion passed unanimously, and the room's public audio broadcast was stopped before the executive session began.

The Vice Chair moved that "the executive committee meet in executive session under section 24 6 4 0 2 3 a ... 4 CRS to consider the specialized details of security arrangements in the state capital and some capital security measures and protocols related to member and staff safety," and also cited an additional statutory provision "under section 24 6 4 0 2 3 8 2, CRS to receive legal advice," as read on the record. The motion was seconded by the majority leader from the House.

A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. Madam Chair then instructed that the room's audio broadcast be stopped before the executive session began. After the executive session concluded, Madam Chair said there was no additional business on the agenda and adjourned the executive committee.

The council did not discuss or disclose the substance of the security arrangements on the public record. The record shows only the motion, statutory citations as read aloud, the unanimous vote to proceed in executive session, the stopping of the public audio broadcast, and the subsequent adjournment.
