Bill > HRes471

This resolution, known as the "Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution," amends the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members of Congress, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, from serving on the boards of for-profit companies. The amendment specifically modifies Rule XXIII by adding a new clause (Clause 19) that explicitly bars House members from holding board positions in profit-making entities. By doing so, the resolution aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and enhance the ethical standards of congressional service, ensuring that representatives focus primarily on their legislative duties and avoid potential financial entanglements that could compromise their ability to represent their constituents' interests impartially.
