A. The corrections oversight committee shall be composed of eight members. Four members of the house of representatives shall be appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives. Four members of the senate shall be appointed by the senate committees' committee or, if the senate appointments are made in the interim, by the president pro tempore of the senate after consultation with and agreement of a majority of the members of the senate committees' committee.

However, in no event shall either party have less than one member from each house on the committee. The speaker of the house of representatives and the president pro tempore of the senate shall each appoint a co-chairman of the committee.
