HR 560 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Amending the house rules by repealing the special rules requiring face masks.

This resolution repeals Sections 7 and 13 of Rule 16 in the House of Representatives' permanent rules, which previously required face masks for members and staff. It directly affects House members, staff, and visitors by removing the mandatory mask requirement during legislative sessions and proceedings. The key mechanism is the formal repeal of these specific rule sections, changing the House's internal operational procedures. As a procedural rule change, it does not alter public health policies or affect external constituents. The bill is currently pending in the House Administration Committee.
