Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to modify the period before the date of any primary election or general election during which a mass mailing is not frankable by a Member of the House who is a candidate in such election, and for other purposes.

Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

Bill 118 HRES 731, also known as the "Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives Act," aims to make changes to the rules regarding mass mailings by Members of the House of Representatives who are also candidates in primary or general elections.

Specifically, the bill seeks to modify the period before the date of any primary or general election during which a mass mailing is not eligible to be franked (paid for with taxpayer funds). This change would allow Members of the House who are running for re-election to send out mass mailings closer to the election date, potentially increasing their visibility and communication with constituents.

In addition to this main provision, the bill also includes other purposes, which are not specified in the summary. Overall, the purpose of Bill 118 HRES 731 is to amend the rules of the House of Representatives in order to allow for more flexibility in mass mailings by Members who are candidates in elections.
