Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require the Speaker to allow the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN) to broadcast and record the floor proceedings of the House, and for other purposes.

HRES 17 would amend House rules to require the Speaker to allow C-SPAN to broadcast and record House floor proceedings using at least four cameras owned and operated by C-SPAN. This change would replace the current discretionary process with a mandatory provision, directly affecting the Speaker's authority over broadcasting access in the chamber. The bill ensures consistent public access to live coverage of legislative debates and votes without requiring separate permissions for each session. This procedural update aims to standardize transparency for viewers of C-SPAN, a nonpartisan network providing public access to government proceedings.
