Journal of the House

First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

ELEVENTH DAY, Tuesday, January 28, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.

           Heavenly Father, our Hope and Joy, it is written, “As for God, His way is blameless and the Word of our Lord is dependable” so may we be blameless and our word dependable.

           Dear Lord, we stand here dwarfed by the magnitude of the job at hand, but in awe of the vastness of Your wisdom and provision.

           May our hearts and minds be kept under the protection and power of Your peace and fixed against anxiety or weariness.

           Father, as we begin this day, may we be flexible: freed from pettiness, combativeness, and rigidness.

           Give us wisdom, discernment, and clarity of thought as we tackle the important tasks ahead.

           Now, may the grace of our Lord, and the love of God, be with us all.

           In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

         The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Danielle Warner, Matthew Hamblin, David Breed, Jonathan Breed, Anna Guthrie, Maggie Winkelmann, Ben Ogawa, Shaunece Ballenger and Kathleen Reeves.

         The Journal of the tenth day was approved as printed.

A quorum exists when a majority of the members of the Committee are present.

RULE 4. Form of Complaints

A. All complaints filed with the Speaker against a member of the House shall be made by a member. The complaints shall be confidential and shall be referred to the Committee on Ethics within ten (10) days and shall be in writing and under oath, setting forth in simple, concise and direct statements:

(1) The name and legal address of the member or members acting as complainant;

(2) The name of the member of the House alleged to have engaged in the commission of a crime, misconduct, willful neglect of duty, corruption in office or other acts constituting ethical misconduct. “Misconduct” means:

(a) Any conduct constituting a legal or moral wrong which materially impairs the member’s ability to perform the duties of his office or substantially impairs public confidence in the General Assembly;

              (b) Any conduct constituting a conflict of interest under Chapter 105, RSMo;

(c) The intentional filing of a false complaint or the filing of a complaint in reckless disregard of the truth.

(3) The nature of the alleged crime, misconduct, neglect, corruption or other unethical act, including when applicable, the specific law, rule, regulation or ethical standard violated;

(4) The facts alleged to have given rise to the violation; and

(5) Where the facts are alleged upon the information and belief of the complainant, the complaint shall so state and set forth the basis for such information and belief.

B. All documents in the possession of the complainant that are relevant to and in support of the allegations shall be appended to the complaint.

RULE 5. Initial Examination of the Complaint by the Committee

A. Within thirty (30) days of the assignment of the complaint by the Speaker, the Committee shall determine if it is in compliance with Rule 4 of these Rules, and whether on the face of the complaint, the allegations contained therein are within the jurisdiction of the Committee, and if so, whether the allegations merit proceeding to a preliminary hearing .The complainant shall not act as a member of the Committee at a hearing in which the complainant is likely to be called as a necessary witness. A respondent shall not act as a member of the Committee for purposes of his complaint.

B. Complaints determined not to be in compliance with Rule 4 of these Rules shall be returned to the complainant with a general statement that it is not in compliance with the Rules of Procedure. The complaint may be resubmitted in the proper form.

C. Once a determination has been made that the complaint complies with Rule 4 of these Rules, a majority of the Committee appointed shall vote by roll call to either:

(1) Defer action pending completion of any other administrative, disciplinary, commission, or judicial proceeding;

(2) Proceed to a preliminary hearing;

(3) Dismiss the complaint.

D. In determining whether or not to proceed the Committee shall consider the following:

(1) The credible evidence contained in the complaint or appended thereto of the commission of a crime, misconduct, willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, or other acts violating applicable ethical standards;

(2) Other administrative or disciplinary action by other interested bodies;

(3) Criminal investigation, Missouri Ethics Commission proceeding, or judicial proceedings, either civil or criminal; and

(4) Other relevant circumstances that would justify expediting, declining or deferring action by the Committee.

E. Complaints determined to be in compliance with Rule 4 of these Rules and accepted for a preliminary hearing shall be transmitted to the respondent with a copy of the Rules of Procedure and notice in writing that the respondent has twenty-one (21) calendar days to respond to the complaint either by way of answer or motion pursuant to Rule 6 of these Rules. The complainant shall also be notified, in writing, of the action of the Committee. Examination of the complaint and the determination of Rule 5.C. shall be conducted in a closed meeting.

RULE 6. Answers and Motions

A. If the Committee determines that the complaint merits proceeding to a preliminary hearing, the respondent shall have twenty-one (21) calendar days in which to respond to the complaint by way of answer or motion, unless this time period is waived by the respondent. Any answer or motion shall be in writing, signed by the respondent and his counsel, if he has one, and shall be limited to the following:

(1) An admission or denial under oath, of the allegations set forth in the complaint, including negative and affirmative defenses, and any other relevant information, including supporting evidence which the respondent may desire to submit;

(2) An objection to the jurisdiction of the Committee to investigate the complaint; or

(3) An objection to the participation of any member of the Committee in an investigation of the complaint on the grounds that the member cannot render an impartial and unbiased decision in the case.

E. In the event that a special counsel is retained by the Committee, the attorney-client privilege is applicable to the Committee and not to the House.

RULE 7. Preliminary Hearings

A. A preliminary hearing may be held to hear arguments based on the pleadings submitted in the case. The preliminary hearing shall be an open meeting. The committee shall provide the complainant and the respondent or counsel for the complainant and respondent an opportunity to present, orally or in writing, a statement, which shall be under oath or affirmation, regarding the allegations and any other relevant questions arising out of the pleadings. A Complainant or respondent who is represented by counsel shall not be questioned in the absence of counsel unless an explicit waiver is obtained.

B. The committee shall require that testimony be given under oath or affirmation. The form of the oath or affirmation shall be: “Do you solemnly swear (or affirm) that the testimony you will give before this Committee in the matter now under consideration will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (so help you God)?” The oath or affirmation shall be administered by the Chairman or Committee member designated by him to administer oaths. Members of the committee shall be given an opportunity to question the complainant and respondent or counsel for the complainant or respondent following the opening statements.

C. At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, a majority of the Committee shall vote by roll call to either:

(1) Dismiss the complaint, or

(2) Proceed by

D. If the committee decides to make a summary decision of the case and the respondent accepts this disposition the Committee may, by a majority vote, recommend one of the following sanctions:

(1) Letter of reproval;

(2) Reprimand; or

(3) Censure.

RULE 8. Investigative Hearings

A. An investigative hearing may be held on the record to receive evidence upon which to base findings, conclusions, and recommendations, if any, to the House. The Committee may require, by subpoena or otherwise, or by subpoena duces tecum, the attendance and testimony of such witnesses and the production of such books, records, correspondence, memorandums, papers and documents as it deems necessary. The Committee may obtain a court-issued subpoena in the event that any person refuses to obey the subpoena issued by the Committee.

B. Prior to setting a hearing date and issuing subpoenas for witnesses, the Committee shall resolve the scope and purpose of the hearings. A copy of this statement of scope and purpose shall be furnished to all witnesses. During the course of the hearings the Committee may expand or contract the scope in light of evidence received.

C. The order of the investigative hearing shall be as follows:

(1) The Chairman shall open the hearing by stating the Committee’s authority to conduct the investigation, the purpose of the investigation and its scope.

(2) The complainant and the respondent or counsel for the complainant and respondent shall be permitted to make opening statements. Such opening statements shall not exceed fifteen minutes.

(3) Testimony from witnesses and other evidence pertinent to the matter under investigation shall be received in the following order:

              (a) Witnesses and other evidence offered by the complainant;

              (b) Witnesses and other evidence offered by the respondent;

              (c) Witnesses and other evidence offered by the Committee staff; and

              (d) Rebuttal witnesses.

(4) The Chairman or his designee shall examine each witness. The Committee members may then question the witness. The respondent or his counsel may then cross-examine the witness. Redirect or recross examination may be permitted in the Chairman’s discretion. With respect to witnesses offered by the respondent, a witness shall be examined first by the respondent or his counsel, if he has one, and then may be cross-examined by the complainant or his counsel, if he has one, and then may be cross-examined by the Chairman or his designee. Committee members may then question the witness. Redirect and recross examination may be permitted in the Chairman’s discretion.

D. Testimony of all witnesses shall be taken under oath. The form of the oath shall be: “Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you will give before this Committee in the matter now under consideration will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” The oath shall be administered by the Chairman or Committee member designated by him to administer oaths.

RULE 9. Admissibility of Evidence

A. The object of the hearings shall be to ascertain the truth. Any evidence that is relevant and probative shall be admissible, unless privileged or unless the Constitution otherwise requires its exclusion. Objections going only to the weight that should be given to evidence will not justify its exclusion.

B. The Chairman or other member presiding shall rule upon any question of admissibility of testimony or evidence presented to the Committee. The Chairman or other member presiding may limit the presentation of repetitious evidence. Rulings shall be final unless reversed or modified by a majority vote of the Committee members present.

C. At an investigative hearing, the burden of proof is on the complainant with respect to each count to establish the facts alleged therein clearly and convincingly by the evidence that he introduces.

RULE 10. Witnesses

A. A subpoena to a witness shall be served sufficiently in advance of his scheduled appearance to allow him a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Committee, to prepare for the hearing and to employ counsel should he so desire.

B. Except as otherwise specifically authorized by the Chairman, no member of the Committee or staff shall make public the name of any witness subpoenaed by the Committee before his scheduled appearance.

C. Witnesses at investigative hearings may be accompanied by their counsel for the purpose of advising them concerning their constitutional rights and to raise objections to procedures or to the admissibility of testimony and evidence. Counsel for a witness other than the respondent shall not be permitted to engage in oral argument with the Committee. After a witness has testified, his counsel may submit to the Committee, in writing, any questions he wishes propounded to his client and any request for additional witnesses or other evidence. Such request may be granted in the discretion of the Committee.

D. The respondent may apply to the Committee for the issuance of subpoenas for the appearance of witnesses or the production of documents on his behalf. The application shall be granted upon good cause shown by the respondent that the proposed testimony or evidence is relevant and not otherwise available. The application shall be denied if not made at a reasonable time or if the testimony or evidence would be merely cumulative.

E. The respondent is entitled to present witnesses in his behalf. However, the Chairman may limit such testimony when, in his discretion, he finds the testimony is repetitious or cumulative.

F. Each witness subpoenaed by the Committee shall be reimbursed for those reasonable expenses approved by the Committee.

G. Each witness shall be furnished a printed copy of the Rules of Procedure and the pertinent provisions of the Rules of the House applicable to the rights of witnesses.

H. Within ten (10) calendar days before the scheduled investigative hearing, the Chairman shall notify the respondent, in writing, of the witnesses that are to appear before the Committee. Within five (5) calendar days before the scheduled investigative hearing, the respondent shall notify the Committee, in writing, of the witnesses that are to appear in his behalf. Additional witnesses may be brought before the Committee, in the discretion of the Chairman or other member presiding and upon good cause, if their whereabouts or existence were unknown to the respondent at the time for submission of the witness list to Committee.

RULE 11. Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations

A. At the completion of the preliminary hearing or investigative hearings, the Committee, by a majority vote of its members, shall, within forty-five (45) days, adopt a report stating its findings and conclusions on the complaint. The report shall be filed with the Chief Clerk of the House and shall be printed in the House Journal. In the event the Committee finds that the complaint is not well-founded, the report shall so state, and shall include a copy of a Letter of Reproval if the Committee authorized such sanction. In the event the Committee finds that the complaint is well-founded, the report shall state the Committee’s recommendation in a resolution appended thereto.

B. The resolution shall state the Committee’s findings and conclusions on each allegation in the complaint with the recommendation that the House:

(1) Expel the member as provided in Article III, Section 18 of the Missouri Constitution;

(2) Punish the member as provided in Article III, Section 18 of the Missouri Constitution, by reprimand on the adoption of the resolution, or by censure by the Speaker in open session; or

(3) Take no further action, stating the reasons therefor.

RULE 12. Matters Not Covered in These Rules of Procedure

The Rules of Procedure of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Standards of Official Conduct of the 108^th Congress shall be taken as guidelines in deciding questions, issues, and other matters not otherwise provided for in these Rules of Procedure, except that the Rules of the Missouri House of Representatives governing the party representation on committees shall apply to this Committee.
