### sec.301 Membership of parliamentary committee continues despite dissolution
Despite section 300 , from the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly, the parliamentary committee consists of its members immediately before the dissolution.
A member under subsection (1) continues to be a member of the parliamentary committee until whichever of the following first happens—

the member dies;
the returning officer for the electoral district in which the member was nominated as a candidate for the election notifies the electoral commission that a person other than the member has been elected for the electoral district;
fresh members are appointed by the Legislative Assembly.
If a member stops being a member of the parliamentary committee under subsection (2) (c) , the person recognised as the leader of the political party that nominated the member to the committee may nominate another person as a member of the committee until fresh members are appointed by the Legislative Assembly.
