What This Bill Does
This resolution changes the rules that House committees and subcommittees must follow. It stops members from voting remotely (from a distance) during committee meetings and requires committee chairs to call on members in the order they ask to speak.
Who It Affects
House committee chairs, House subcommittee chairs and House members who serve on committees or subcommittees.
Key Provisions
• Committee and subcommittee members cannot cast votes remotely on any measure or matter (Sec. 1)
• The chair of a committee or subcommittee must recognize members in the order those members seek recognition during meetings (Sec. 2)
What Changes
The rules governing how House committees operate will be amended. Members will no longer be allowed to vote from a distance during committee and subcommittee meetings. Committee chairs will be required to call on members to speak in the order they raise their hand or ask to be recognized, rather than at the chair's discretion.
