This Resolution amends the House Rules for the second regular session of the fifty-fifth legislature, allowing members to participate in standing committees remotely via electronic or telephonic means to establish a quorum or vote, and also permits members to be present on the House floor remotely under specific circumstances related to COVID-19, such as testing positive, being under quarantine, or residing with high-risk individuals or those ineligible for vaccination. Additionally, it clarifies procedures for quorum calls, mandates mask-wearing in the House chamber as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and lists the standing committees of the House, including both substantive committees like Agriculture and Appropriations, and procedural committees such as Rules and Order of Business.
