§ 10246 Legislative Counsel Court Appearance

• •The Legislative Counsel can't go to court without permission from the Joint Rules Committee.
• •If the committee doesn't exist, the Speaker of the Assembly and the President pro Tempore of the Senate can give permission in writing.
• •The Legislature can also give permission by passing a concurrent resolution.

The Legislative Counsel wants to help in a court case about a new law.

They can't just show up in court. They need to ask the Joint Rules Committee first. If that committee isn't around, they need to get a written okay from the Speaker of the Assembly and the President pro Tempore of the Senate.
