List of current members

Each Senator has at least two standing committee assignments. The first is to one of the four legislative committees: Budget and Taxation, Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs (listed in this table as Education, Health, and Environment), Finance, or Judicial Proceedings. A number of Senators have secondary committee assignments, most prominently to the Executive Nominations Committee, which oversees the constitutional responsibility of the Senate to approve nominations by the Governor. Assignment to this committee is noted under the Executive Nominations column, though assignment to the Rules committee or any Ad Hoc committees is not noted.
