Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between membership stability in state legislatures and the extent to which the committees have members and chairmen who, because of continuous service on the same committees, have some experience in dealing with the issues that come before them. Data were collected on eight lower houses and seven upper houses covering the 1963-1977 time period. Findings indicate that three of the four indicators are affected by membership stability. The number of partisan changes in control of the legislature weakens the relationship.
