Bill > HRes28

This resolution, known as the "BRIDGE to Congress Resolution," aims to modify the rules governing remote witness testimony at House committee proceedings. Specifically, the resolution eliminates the current requirement that remote witness appearances are solely at the discretion of the committee chair. By striking the phrase "at the discretion of the chair of the committee and" from Section 3(i)(1) of House Resolution 5, the resolution would provide more flexibility for witnesses to participate remotely in committee hearings, potentially making congressional proceedings more accessible and inclusive. This change could benefit witnesses who might face challenges attending in-person hearings due to geographical, financial, or other logistical constraints, thereby potentially broadening the range of perspectives and expertise that can be brought before congressional committees.
