Bill > HR0005

This resolution amends several House Rules regarding procedural and administrative functions, primarily changing references from "chief of staff" to "speaker" across multiple sections. The key changes include modifying the appointment and duties of the sergeant-at-arms, who will now be appointed and directed by the speaker instead of the chief of staff, and adjusting the chief clerk's role to report directly to the speaker. The resolution also expands the chief clerk's responsibilities to include supervising in-session employees, tracking their attendance, and ensuring proper payment. Additionally, the resolution updates rules about motions during debate, introducing minor language adjustments and clarifying procedural priorities, such as specifying how motions to end debate are treated depending on whether an amendment is under consideration. The changes appear designed to streamline House operations and centralize administrative authority under the speaker's direction. The resolution will take effect immediately upon successful final passage.
