House of Representatives convened; notify Senate

HR 995 is a procedural resolution that formally notifies the Senate that the House of Representatives has convened for the new legislative session. It does not affect any policies, people, or groups, as it is a routine administrative step required by the U.S. Constitution to establish the House's authority to operate. The resolution was read, adopted by the House on January 12, 2026, and passed without further debate or amendments. This type of resolution is standard practice to initiate the legislative process after a new Congress begins.
