Bill Summary

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to exclude employees of the offices of Members who serve on certain committees of the House from the allotment of the number of employees of the office who may hold security clearances processed by the Office of House Security if such employees are members of the armed forces who hold a security clearance issued by the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This resolution amends the Rules of the House of Representatives to create a special exemption for employees of certain House members who are also members of the armed forces. Specifically, if an employee of a House member serving on select national security-related committees (such as Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, and Intelligence) already holds a security clearance from the Department of Defense (DoD), they will not be counted against the office's limited allotment of security clearances processed by the Office of House Security. The resolution places two key limitations on this exemption: first, the employee's security clearance level cannot exceed either their existing DoD clearance or the highest clearance level the office can sponsor, and second, this exemption only applies to employees who serve in specific high-security-related congressional committees. This change aims to provide more flexibility for House offices with employees who have existing military-issued security clearances, potentially allowing these offices to maintain more comprehensive staffing without being constrained by clearance limits.
