HRES 78 United States House · 119th Congress

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to permit certain resolutions to be privileged only if they are based on conduct which was the subject of an investigation and report by the appropriate committee of jurisdiction or if they are offered by direction of a party caucus or conference.

HRES 78 amends House rules to restrict which resolutions can move quickly through the legislative process. It requires that resolutions seeking to impeach officials, censure members, expel members, or create vacancies in leadership roles must either be based on a committee investigation report or be proposed by a party caucus. Currently, such resolutions could gain priority without these conditions, but this bill adds these requirements. The change directly affects how House members introduce and advance these specific disciplinary resolutions.
