Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to permit certain resolutions to be privileged only if they are based on conduct which was the subject of an investigation and report by the appropriate committee of jurisdiction or if they are offered by direction of a party caucus or conference.

Bill 119 HRES 78, also known as the resolution to amend the Rules of the House of Representatives, aims to change the rules regarding the privilege of certain resolutions. Under the proposed amendment, resolutions would only be considered privileged if they are based on conduct that has been investigated and reported on by the appropriate committee of jurisdiction, or if they are introduced by direction of a party caucus or conference.

This amendment seeks to ensure that resolutions brought before the House are based on thorough investigations and reports, rather than being introduced without proper scrutiny. By requiring resolutions to be grounded in committee investigations or party direction, the amendment aims to promote transparency and accountability in the legislative process.

Overall, Bill 119 HRES 78 aims to strengthen the integrity of the House of Representatives by ensuring that privileged resolutions are based on credible information and have the support of relevant committees or party leadership.
