This resolution authorizes official photographs of the House of Representatives to be taken while the House is in actual session, on a date designated by the Speaker.

Bill 118 HRES 321, also known as the "Permitting Official Photographs of the House of Representatives Act," is a proposed legislation that would allow official photographs of the House of Representatives to be taken while the House is in actual session on a date designated by the Speaker.

This would allow for more flexibility in capturing important moments and events, providing a more comprehensive record of the House's activities.
