Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution

HRES 471, the "Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution," would amend House rules to prohibit current and future House members (including delegates and resident commissioners) from serving on the boards of for-profit companies. The key provision adds a new rule to the House's procedural rules, explicitly banning such board positions to address potential conflicts of interest. This change would directly affect all House members by restricting their outside business activities while in office. The resolution is a procedural rule change, not a law affecting the public, and aims to strengthen ethical standards within the House.
