equipment - Approval of delayed vouchers.
The legislative council, on behalf of the legislative assembly, may make all necessary
arrangements before each legislative session for the procurement of necessary supplies,
equipment, services other than the employment of legislative employees, building space, or any
other preparations or arrangements the legislative council determines necessary or desirable to
be made before the commencement of each legislative session in order to facilitate the proper
convening and operation of the legislative assembly. The legislative council shall act as the

custodial agency to ensure the proper storage and safekeeping of legislative supplies and
equipment during the interim periods between legislative sessions, and may approve vouchers
on behalf of the legislative assembly for the payment from legislative appropriations of delayed

not in session. The legislative council shall carry out such duties or projects and provide such
service and assistance to the legislative assembly or its committees, the legislative
management or its committees, and members of the legislative assembly as may be requested
by concurrent resolution of the legislative assembly or determined necessary or desirable in
assisting the legislative assembly or the legislative management in meeting its responsibilities
and carrying out its duties during the legislative session or the interim between sessions.
