Summary of Bill HRES 321

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.

The bill aims to provide a means for capturing and documenting the proceedings of the House of Representatives for historical and archival purposes. Currently, official photographs of the House can only be taken during designated times outside of actual session, limiting the ability to capture important moments and events as they unfold.

If passed, the Speaker of the House would have the authority to designate a specific date for official photographs to be taken during a session. This would allow for more flexibility in capturing important moments and events, providing a more comprehensive record of the House's activities. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 321 seeks to enhance transparency and accountability within the House of Representatives by allowing for official photographs to be taken during actual sessions, providing a more accurate and detailed representation of the legislative process.
