Amending the permanent rules of the House of Representatives relating to quorum and attendance to remove seniority from certain members due to multiple absences.

HR 73 amends House rules to reduce the seniority of members who miss sessions without permission to obstruct legislative work. Specifically, starting on the fourth day of such absence, each additional day results in the loss of one year of seniority. This rule change directly affects Texas House members who repeatedly skip sessions to impede proceedings, not general absences. The bill is procedural, altering internal House rules rather than creating new laws or impacting the public. It does not address fines, reprimands, or expulsion, which remain separate options under existing rules.
