HR 5011 Rhode Island House · 2025 Regular Session

HOUSE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE YEARS 2023 AND 2024

HR 5011 is a procedural House resolution that would prohibit all members of the U.S. House of Representatives from displaying flags or banners of any size on their desks within the House chamber. The rule applies to every member's desk space but includes an exception for flags or banners placed on or behind the Speaker's rostrum. This change would directly affect all House members by altering the physical decor allowed in their designated workspace during chamber sessions. The resolution does not impact other areas of the Capitol or change substantive legislative processes.
