(2) was in writing; and
(3) was delivered to the chairman of an authorized group other than the entire membership of the House, Senate, or General Assembly prior to the actual event for which the invitation was extended, or if the invitation was extended to the entire membership of the House, Senate, or General Assembly, the invitation was delivered to the House or Senate Invitations Committee pursuant to House or Senate rules."
