The Commission on the Legislative Process was originally created by Senate Joint Resolution No. 20 of the 1968 Session of the General Assembly. The value of the work of the Commission was affirmed by the continuation of the Commission in the 1970 Session of the General Assembly under House Joint Resolution No. 24.

Since the adoption of this resolution, substantial tools for the improvement of the efficiency of the work of the General Assembly have been provided by the adoption of the revised Constitution. Some of these tools were employed by the General Assembly in the Special Session of 1971.

The thrust of this report will therefore be directed toward what means may be employed now to make the work of the General Assembly more productive and how best its time may be utilized.
