Rule 4 Quorum of Commission

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When the Commission needs to handle business (other than holding a hearing), at least five members must be present for it to move forward. This group of five must include a mix of people: at least one lawyer, one judge, and one member of the public.

This rule makes sure no single group controls decisions. By requiring a lawyer, a judge, and a public member to all be part of the quorum, the Commission gets different points of view before it acts. It also keeps the Commission from making decisions with too few people involved, which helps keep the process fair and balanced.
