House Rules Resolution - Legislation Disclosure

HR 4 requires legislative sponsors to verbally disclose when they introduced a bill at the request of a state agency head (like a cabinet officer or agency director) during committee presentations or floor debates. It amends existing House rules to add this disclosure requirement specifically when legislation is presented by a sponsor acting on an agency's request. The bill does not create new policies or appropriate funds; it only changes procedural disclosure rules for sponsors. This affects any legislator introducing bills at the direction of state agencies, ensuring transparency about agency involvement. The resolution passed the House rules committee but failed its first committee vote on February 4, 2026.
