An investigating committee may exercise its powers during sessions of the legislative assembly and also in the interim between sessions when so provided by law or by the motion, resolution, or statute by which the committee was established or from which it derives its investigatory powers. The motion, resolution, or statute establishing a temporary investigating committee must state the committee's purposes, powers, duties, and duration, the subject matter and scope of its investigatory authority, and the number of its members.
