The members of the committee shall elect a chairman and a vice

necessary.
The committee shall undertake a study for a period not to exceed one
year to determine whether vocational education should begin in the ninth

whenever the chairman considers it necessary or whenever requested by
three members.
At the end of the study conducted by the committee pursuant to this
section, the committee shall present its findings and recommendations
in the form of a written report to the members of the General Assembly.
Committee members shall not be compensated for their service on
the committee but are allowed, for the actual performance of their

provided by law for members of state boards, committees, and
commissions.
The expenses of the committee, except for the assistance rendered by
the Legislative Council, must be paid from the approved accounts of
both houses of the General Assembly.
