Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit remote voting in meetings of committees and subcommittees and to require the chair of a committee or subcommittee to recognize members at a meeting of the committee or subcommittee in the order in which they seek recognition.

This resolution prohibits remote voting on measures or matters before House committees or subcommittees. It also requires that a chair of a committee or subcommittee recognize Members in the order in which they seek recognition (currently, committees and subcommittees have discretion in determining the order of recognition).

Bill 118 HRES 38, also known as the Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to Prohibit Remote Voting in Meetings of Committees and Subcommittees, aims to make changes to the rules governing how committees and subcommittees operate within the House of Representatives.

The main provisions of this bill include prohibiting remote voting in meetings of committees and subcommittees. This means that members of these groups will no longer be able to vote on issues or decisions remotely, but must be physically present in the meeting in order to cast their vote. Additionally, the bill requires the chair of a committee or subcommittee to recognize members in the order in which they seek recognition. This ensures that all members have an equal opportunity to speak and participate in the discussion.

Overall, this bill seeks to promote transparency and accountability within the House of Representatives by ensuring that members are actively engaged in the decision-making process and that all voices are heard in committee and subcommittee meetings.
