The commission has four permanent members: the majority leader of the Senate; the chair of the Senate Finance Committee; the Speaker of the House; and the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. One additional member from each the House of Representatives and the Senate sit on the commission - determined by the funding request(s) being considered.
