Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require the chair of a committee or subcommittee to recognize members at a meeting of the committee or subcommittee in the order in which they seek recognition.
HRES 58 would amend House rules to require committee and subcommittee chairs to recognize members in the exact order they request to speak during meetings. This change would standardize speaking order, replacing the chair's current discretion with a fixed sequence. It directly affects all members of House committees and subcommittees, as well as chairs who must follow this new rule in every meeting. The resolution applies uniformly across all House committees and subcommittees without altering substantive policy.
