Bill > HRes1230

This Resolution makes several changes to the standing rules of the House of Representatives, which are the established procedures and guidelines for how the House operates. Specifically, it allows the Chair to adjourn the House to a future date and time announced by the Chair, and it modifies rules regarding privileged reports from the Committee on Rules, making it easier for them to be considered by allowing them to be made available to members beforehand. Additionally, the Resolution updates rules for remote voting by proxy, expanding the definition of "House" to include the Committee of the Whole, clarifying that "Members" for these purposes includes Delegates and the Resident Commissioner (representatives from U.S. territories and Washington D.C.), and specifying that Delegates and the Resident Commissioner can only designate proxies to other Delegates or the Resident Commissioner, and cannot vote or record their presence in the full House.
