Legislative Proxy and Absence Accommodation Resolution
HCONRES 110 would allow U.S. House and Senate members to vote by proxy or participate remotely in committee meetings during specific circumstances like illness, family emergencies, jury duty, military service, or unsafe travel conditions. Members would need to submit a signed letter documenting their situation, with usage limits (e.g., up to 7 days for illness, 4 days for family death). The Clerk (House) or Secretary (Senate) would maintain a public list of all members using these accommodations, including the reason and duration. This resolution would amend House Rules 3 and 11 and Senate Standing Rules to implement these changes. The bill ensures members can continue legislative participation during temporary absences without affecting quorum requirements.
