I. HISTORY, FUNCTION, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON RULES A. Introduction In the 117th Congress, the Committee on Rules retained its traditional structure and purpose in the House of Representatives. Its size and super majority party ratio remained the same as in previous Congresses, under both Democratic and Republican control. Its central function continued to be setting the conditions under which major legislation is considered on the House floor, particularly regarding the terms of debate and the process for consideration of amendments. Underscoring this role, scholars of Congress and Members have described the Rules Committee as a ``traffic cop,'' ``gatekeeper,'' and ``the Speaker's Committee.'' All of these terms highlight the critical role the Committee plays in the conduct of legislative business in the House. While the primary responsibility of the Committee is to be the scheduling arm of the majority leadership, it also exercises ``original jurisdiction'' over the rules of the House, joint rules of the House and Senate, the order of business in the House, and the budget process. Although the principal purpose of this report is to summarize the activities of the Rules Committee in the 117th Congress, its secondary purpose is to view these activities in the context of the evolution of the Committee and the House of Representatives since the First Congress in 1789. B. History and Function The Rules Committee has a long and storied history. The first Rules Committee was established as a select committee of the House on the second day of the First Congress, April 2, 1789, pursuant to the Constitutional mandate in Article I, section 5, clause 2 that, ``[e]ach House may determine the rules of its proceedings.'' The House order creating the Committee stated that a committee be appointed ``to prepare and report such standing rules and orders of proceedings as may be proper to be observed in the House.'' Since the moment of its inception, the Committee has followed these mandates. The Members serving on the Rules Committee have included some of the most prominent Members of the House. Of the first 11 Members on the Committee, several were Founding Fathers of the nation. These included: (1) Representative James Madison of Virginia, the ``Father of the Constitution'' and future President of the United States; (2) Representative Roger Sherman of Connecticut, the only one of the Founding Fathers to help prepare and sign all four of the most important documents of the early nation: the Articles of Association, the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution; (3) Representative Elias Boudinot of New Jersey, President of the Continental Congress from November 1782 to November 1783; and (4) Representative Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, a future Vice President of the United States and a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. Five days after its appointment, the first Select Committee on Rules began exercising its responsibilities. It reported four rules on: (1) the duties of the Speaker, (2) decorum and debate, (3) the disposition of bills, and (4) the operations of the Committee of the Whole. Six days later, on April 13, 1789 the Select Committee reported an additional eight rules dealing with such matters as the service of Members on committees, Members' attendance during floor proceedings, the creation of a standing Committee on Elections, the duties of the Clerk, and the duties of the Sergeant-at Arms. Following the adoption of these rules by the House, the Select Committee was dissolved. During the first 90 years of the House, this pattern continued. At the beginning of each Congress, the House would establish a Select Committee on Rules, which would report any recommended revisions in the standing rules of the House from those of the previous, and then dissolve. In some Congresses, the House did not appoint a Select Committee on Rules and instead operated under the rules adopted in the preceding Congress. Although in its early years the House relied primarily on select committees to draft legislation, by the mid-nineteenth century this system evolved to include 34 standing committees, which assumed such responsibilities. The House briefly converted the Rules Committee into a standing committee between 1849 and 1853. In 1880, the House permanently converted the Rules Committee into a standing committee chaired by the Speaker of the House. It was this Speaker-Chair position, combined with the newly-emerging role of the Committee to report rules managing consideration of legislation on the floor, that cement the Committee's place in legislative history. In 1883, the modern Rules Committee began to emerge when the House upheld the right of the Committee to issue ``special orders of business'' or ``special rules'' providing for the consideration of legislation from other committees. By 1890, this new role had become the exclusive prerogative of the Rules Committee. Special rules, which were and are House resolutions, also known as simple resolutions reported from the Rules Committee, were important because they required only a majority vote of the House to provide for the consideration of bills out of the order in which they appeared on the floor Calendar. This is notable because, until the use of special rules, a two-thirds vote was required to suspend the rules and consider a bill out of order. A simple majority could now accomplish what previously required a super-majority. Special rules gained importance because they gave the House flexibility in its legislative agenda, which in turn, allowed for House leadership to respond to changing judgments about the nation's needs at any given time. Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine was the individual most responsible for recognizing and utilizing the full potential of the combined powers of Speaker and Rules Committee Chairman; this is because he served in those two roles from 1889 to 1891 and then again from l895 to 1899. Not only did he use his authority as Speaker to make rulings from the Chair that outlawed certain obstructionist tactics on the House floor; he also proceeded to codify these rulings, known as ``Reed's Rules,'' in the standing rules of the House through his capacity as Rules Committee Chairman. Speaker Reed also made regular use of the Rules Committee to report special rules, enabling him to schedule bills to be considered on the floor when he wished and under his terms of debate and amendment. This powerful Speaker-Chairman position ended in 1910 in a revolt against Speaker Joseph Cannon of Illinois. Speaker Cannon had served as Speaker and Rules Committee Chairman since 1903. Disaffected by Speaker Cannon's autocratic rule, a group of Republican insurgents joined with the Democratic minority to bypass the Rules Committee and directly amend House Rules from the floor. The group amended the Rules to strip the Speaker of his chairmanship and membership on the Rules Committee, as well as his power to appoint Members to the Committee. They also voted to enlarge the Committee from five to ten members elected by the House. The following year, a new Democratic majority completed the revolution by taking away the Speaker's power to appoint Members to all of the other committees of the House. Since then, the House has elected all Members to standing committees. This revolt had far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. While the Rules Committee continued to serve as the scheduling arm of the House leadership, it illustrated its independence when reaction set in against the New Deal in 1937, when many Rules Committee members were opposed to the policies of President Roosevelt. From that time until 1961, the Committee was dominated by a conservative coalition of Southern Democrats and Republicans who sometimes would refuse to report rules on bills that the majority leadership wanted on the floor, or they would report such rules only under their own terms and timing. In 1961, Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas and President John F. Kennedy led a successful effort to enlarge the membership of the Committee, from 12 to 15 Members, however this did not produce the desired effect. It was not until the mid-1970s, with a large influx of new Democratic Members, that the Rules Committee was fully restored as an arm of the majority leadership. The reform movement of the mid-1970s also produced further decentralization in the House with the emergence of more independent Members and the proliferation of semi-autonomous subcommittees. This decentralization soon led to pressures to give the majority leadership, in particular the Speaker acting through the Rules Committee, more authority to direct the business of the House. In 1975, with a Democratic majority in the House, Democratic Caucus rules, which govern how the Democratic Members will carry out their roles, gave the Democratic Speaker the authority to appoint all Rules Committee Democrats, subject to Caucus ratification. In 1989, with a Republican minority in the House, the Republican Conference, which governs how Republican Members exercise their duties, gave the Minority Leader the same authority to appoint Republican Members to the Rules Committee. Today, the slates of appointees recommended by the Speaker and Minority Leader are still subject to approval by the whole House in the form of a simple resolution. In the 117th Congress, the Democratic Members were appointed to the Rules Committee through the adoption of H. Res. 35, and H. Res. 384. The Republican Members of the Committee were appointed through the adoption of H. Res. 36 and H. Res. 63. While the most high-profile role of the Rules Committee is to direct legislative traffic to the House floor, the Committee is also responsible for other important business. For instance, as part of its gate-keeping work, the Committee must help resolve jurisdictional disputes between other standing committees. As is often the case, committees will report legislation with amendments that impact the jurisdiction of other committees. When legislation with such cross- jurisdictional language comes to the Rules Committee, the Committee must resolve these disputes to ensure that legislation reaches the floor without controversy between House committees. Finally, with the aid of the Office of the Parliamentarian, the Committee plays a role in ensuring compliance with the House Rules. Authorizing and appropriating committees often seek guidance in how to conduct their oversight and legislative responsibilities in accordance with the Rules. When questions arise regarding the propriety of certain courses of action, they turn to the Rules Committee or the Parliamentarian for the answer. Overall, and notwithstanding changes in majority control, the Rules Committee continues its role of facilitating the deliberation and amending of legislation in the House. C. Committee Organization During the 117th Congress At the beginning of the 94th Congress, the Committee membership was increased from fifteen Members (ten Democrats and five Republicans) to sixteen Members (eleven Democrats and five Republicans). This ratio remained until the 98th Congress, when the membership was reduced to thirteen Members (nine Democrats and four Republicans). The membership has remained at thirteen, through the 117th Congress. The ratio of majority party Members to minority party Members also has remained the same. However, in the 112th through the 115th Congresses, Republicans were in the majority and Democrats were in the minority. During the 116th and 117th Congresses, Democrats were in the majority. Ten of the thirteen members of the Rules Committee in the 117th Congress served on the Committee during the previous Congress. The returning Democratic Representatives were James McGovern of Massachusetts, Alcee Hastings of Florida, Norma Torres of California, Ed Perlmutter of Colorado, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania, Joe Morelle of New York, and Mark DeSaulnier of California. The new Democratic Representatives on the Committee for the 117th Congress were Deborah K. Ross of North Carolina, and Joe Neguse of Colorado. Alcee L. Hastings of Florida was elected to the Committee on January 12, 2021 and served until his passing on April 6, 2021. Joe Neguse of Colorado was elected to the Committee on May 12, 2021. The returning Republican Representatives were Tom Cole of Oklahoma, Michael Burgess of Texas, and Debbie Lesko of Arizona. The new Republican Representatives on the Committee for the 117th Congress were Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania and Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota. Debbie Lesko of Arizona was elected to the Committee on January 12, 2021, and served until she resigned on January 28, 2021. Michelle Fischbach of Arizona was elected to the Committee on January 28, 2021. The Committee held its organizational meeting on January 12, 2021. Chairman James McGovern of Massachusetts opened the meeting and welcomed all of the Committee Members. Chairman McGovern announced that the organizational process would be truncated. In agreement with the Minority, the Committee adopted the Committee's rules for the previous Congress with no modifications by unanimous consent. The majority and minority staff of the Committee on Rules was approved, and Chairman McGovern announced that the Committee would meet to consider changes to the rules at a later date and the Committee would send amended rules for publication at such time. The Committee resumed its organizational process on February 2, 2021. Chairman McGovern explained the technical changes that were being proposed. Mrs. Torres offered a motion that the Committee adopt the proposed Committee Rules. One amendment was considered and voted upon. Amendment #1, offered by Mr. Cole, would require the consideration of at least one minority amendment in a rule that provides for consideration of at least one majority amendment that is self-executed. The amendment was defeated, three yeas, eight nays. Mrs. Torres' motion to adopt the Committee rules, as amended, was agreed to by voice vote. Pursuant to clause 2(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the House, Chairman McGovern designated Alcee Hastings as the Vice Chair of the Rules Committee to act on the Chair's behalf during a temporary absence of the Chair. Mrs. Torres offered a motion that pursuant to rule 5(c) of the Committee on Rules, the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House, the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process, and the Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures continued to be composed of five majority and two minority Members, identical to the ratio used in recent Congresses. Mr. Torres' motion was agreed to by voice vote. Mrs. Torres proposed and the Committee adopted by unanimous consent the majority and minority Members of the three subcommittees as follows: Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House: Mrs. Torres (Chair), Mr. Perlmutter (Vice Chair), Ms. Scanlon, Mr. Morelle, Mr. McGovern, Mr. Reschenthaler (Ranking Member), and Mr. Cole. Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process: Mr. Hastings (Chair), Mr. Morelle (Vice Chair), Ms. Scanlon, Ms. Ross, Mr. McGovern, Mr. Burgess (Ranking Member), and Mr. Cole. Following the passing of Mr. Hastings, Mr. Morelle assumed the role of Chair and, on May 12, 2021, Mr. Neguse was appointed to the subcommittee. Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures: Mr. Raskin (Chair), Ms. Ross (Vice Chair), Mrs. Torres, Mr. DeSaulnier, Mr. McGovern, Mrs. Fischbach (Ranking Member), and Mrs. Cole. D. Information Transparency and Technology for the Rules Committee Due to its unique role in the legislative process, the Committee on Rules has traditionally assumed the role as the portal through which Members and the public access major legislation in the House. Whether it is early access to legislation or conference reports, or the text of amendments submitted to the Committee or made in order for the floor, the Rules Committee has always served as the central repository for those documents. In addition to its own website, the Committee, along with the Majority Leader's office, continues to maintain legislative data available to the public at docs.house.gov. The Committee majority continued use of its website as modernized in the 116th Congress. Among the key features of the site are: Live-streamed video of Committee meetings embedded on the homepage; Dates and times for meetings and amendment deadlines highlighted on the homepage; Mobile-ready versions of all pages on the site; A ``Special Rules'' page, listing in one place all rules reported by the Committee in recent Congresses; and An ``Original Jurisdiction'' page, listing all such hearings and mark-ups conducted by the Committee. Additionally, the website maintains links to the historical and educational material that Members, staff, citizens, and academics find useful in understanding the legislative process in the House, in addition to all records posted to the majority website since the beginning of the 112th Congress. The Committee continues to make critical use of the Committee on Rules Electronic Database (CORE Database) that was originally developed in the 109th Congress to assist with amendment intake, tracking, and production of draft rules and reports on an expedited basis. This system serves as the interface through which Member offices submit amendments to the Committee. Once submitted, CORE allows the Committee to quickly process amendments, as well as track them throughout the Rules Committee process. Ultimately, CORE is responsible for producing the templates of each resolution and report needed for filing with the House. CORE also streamlines the posting of amendments and other information on the Committee's public website. The Committee has continued to improve the CORE Database with a recent focus on efficiency of amendment submissions by staff in personal offices. Electronic-only amendment submissions initially began as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the 116th Congress, with personal office staff verifying each submission via e-mail and manual acceptance processing by Committee staff. As that proved successful, in the second half of 2020, the Committee staff determined that electronic-only submissions should be made permanent. In February 2021, shortly after the start of this Congress, the CORE Database was upgraded to provide a smart form to authenticated House users permitting them to submit, revise, and withdraw amendments on behalf of their bosses. These paperless submissions are processed and numbered automatically by the CORE Database without requiring clerical work by Committee staff. On January 4, 2021, the House adopted House Resolution 8 which carried forward House Resolution 965 from the 11 Congress to ensure Congress could continue legislating during the COVID- 19 pandemic. The resolution provided for the temporary implementation of remote voting on the House Floor and virtual committee proceedings during a ``covered period'' designated by the Speaker after receiving a notification from the Sergeant- at-Arms, in consultation with the Attending Physician, that a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus is in effect. A ``covered period'' was designated by Speaker Pelosi on January 4, 2021 and was ultimately extended through the end of the 117th Congress. Following the guidance of the Attending Physician to maximize the use of telework across the House, the Committee began the Congress by continuing to hold fully remote committee proceedings. The Committee used the Cisco WebEx video conferencing platform, which was approved by the Chief Administrative Officer of the House, to conduct remote committee meetings. The Committee established a web-accessible document repository and provided members and staff with an email address to submit materials for the record. On June 14, 2021, the Committee held its first ``hybrid'' meeting--meaning it was hosted in-person with the option for Members and witnesses to attend virtually. The Committee utilized a custom implementation of hybrid technology in partnership with the House Recording Studio. Due to the historic and constrained nature of the space in H-313, The Capitol, each in-room Member/witness was provided with an individual tablet computer upon which to view remote attendees. Audio from remote participants was transmitted over the room speaker system. Remote participants, as well as the public, could see both the virtual and in-room proceedings from a feed produced by the House Recording Studio. This format was the standard for the rest of the 117th Congress. The Committee also utilizes the tablet computers now installed in the hearing room as a paperless viewing platform for all documents that previously would have been printed and placed on the dais (bill texts, report texts, amendment summaries, submissions for the record, etc.). The Committee is proud of the near-total overhaul of its clerical operations since the start of the 116th Congress, including: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start of 116th Congress End of 117th Congress ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amendment Hand-delivery of 20 Authenticated electronic Submissions and copies each submission with automated Revisions Committee acceptance Amendment Co- Hand-delivery of Authenticated electronic sponsors and signed letters submission with automated Withdrawals Committee acceptance Amendment Physical tray that Automated distribution Distribution to could be picked-up in directly from the CORE Minority Staff person Database Web Publication of Manual uploads to Instant URL availability Amendment PDFs Committee server via the CORE Database Bill, Report, and Printed and placed on Available digitally on the Amendment Summary the dais before each tablet computer before Texts for Meetings Member each Member Member Only in-person in H- Either in-person or Participation and 313 virtually via Cisco Webex Witness Testimony Report Compilation Printed heading sheets CORE Database uses the XML for Structured and paper amendment embedded within each Rules submissions manually amendment file to collated together automatically print their texts directly into the auto-generated report file Report Filing On-paper, by a Member Digital submission to the on the Floor House Clerk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These changes maximize efficiency for the entire House, save countless boxes of paper, and ensure total accuracy in Committee materials.

HOUSE RULES CHANGES ADOPTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 117TH CONGRESS A. Introduction The resolution (H. Res. 8) proposing the rules for the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress was called up by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on January 4, 2021. In addition to a series of changes to various standing rules, House Resolution 8 included a number of separate orders constituting procedures to be followed in the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress. In crafting this rules package, Democrats on the Rules Committee conducted extensive outreach, consulting with Members and a wide variety of stakeholders in order to capture a range of suggestions and build on the reforms of the 116th Congress. This outreach included a letter to all Members soliciting their ideas. Changes adopted in this extensive rules package include codifying a change made last Congress requiring hearings and markups for measures considered under a rule; reinstating temporary changes that enabled remote voting by proxy and virtual committee work so Congress could continue its work as safely as possible during the coronavirus pandemic; preserving and reforming the Motion to Recommit to prevent a tool meant to improve bills from being used to hijack the legislative process for political gamesmanship; codifying the Office of Diversity and Inclusion; making it a violation of the Code of Official Conduct to disseminate manipulated media; strengthening Truth in Testimony disclosures to provide Members and the public with more information on the witnesses appearing before committees; establishing a Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth; and requiring committees to post all amendments considered at mark-up online within 48 hours. H. Res. 8 was adopted by the House 217-206. B. Summary of Substantive Changes Contained in H. Res. 8, Adopting House Rules for the 117th Congress Section 2. Changes to the Standing Rules Conforming Change. Subsection (a) strikes outdated language that no longer exists in statute authorizing the Clerk to maintain on the House payroll the staff of a former Speaker. This authority, established through 2 U.S.C. Sec. 5128, was repealed by Public Law 115-244 in the 115th Congress. Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds. Subsection (b) codifies the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, established in the 116th Congress in House Resolution 6, into the standing rules of the House. The subsection instructs the Speaker, in consultation with the Minority Leader, to appoint a Director of the Office from recommendations provided by the chair of the Committee on House Administration in consultation with the ranking minority member. The Office is subject to the policy direction and oversight of the Committee on House Administration and will direct and guide House employing offices to recruit, hire, train, develop, advance, promote, and retain a diverse workforce; survey and evaluate diversity in House employing offices; submit a House of Representatives diversity report each session; and provide consultation and guidance in furtherance of increasing diversity and inclusion in the House. Subsection (b) also codifies the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman, established in the 116th Congress in House Resolution 6, and changes its name to the gender-neutral Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds. The subsection instructs the Speaker, in consultation with the chairs and ranking minority members of the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Oversight and Reform, to appoint a Director of the Office. The subsection instructs the Office, under the direction of the Committee on House Administration, and in consultation with other committees at the request of their chairs or ranking members, to develop best practices for whistleblower intake for House offices and provide trainings to House offices on how to safely receive information from whistleblowers. Continuing Authority to Act in Litigation Matters. Subsection (c) clarifies existing practice that the continuing authority to act in litigation matters provided by clause 8(c) of rule II includes, but is not limited to, the authority for committee chairs to immediately reissue subpoenas, prior to the organization of their committees, to ensure litigation can continue uninterrupted. Admittance to the Hall of the House. Subsection (d) adds the Mayor of the District of Columbia to the list of persons who are permitted in the Hall of the House. The subsection also adds a new restriction on who may access the Hall of the House, barring former Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners, Parliamentarians, elected officers of the House, or minority employees nominated as an elected officer of the House if they have been convicted of a crime related to their election to, or service to, the House. Gender-Inclusive Language. Subsection (e) modernizes the use of pronouns, familial relationship terminology, and other references to gender in order to be inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners, employees of the House, and their families. This also obviates the need for the former clause 2 of rule XXIX, which provided that ``words importing one gender include the other as well.'' Committee on Armed Services. Subsection (f) adds the Marine Corps and the Space Force to the list of U.S. military service branches covered under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Armed Services. Neither addition substantively alters the committee's current jurisdiction, and both are clarifying and technical in nature. Committee Oversight Plans. Subsection (g) requires committees to include in their oversight plan a discussion of how the committee's work will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin. Printing and Availability Requirements. Subsection (h) modifies two requirements related to the method by which specific types of legislative texts must be made available. First, instead of requiring that primary expense resolutions reported by the Committee on House Administration be physically printed and available on the calendar day prior to their consideration, this subsection now allows this availability period to begin when the text is made available electronically or in printed form. Second, this subsection modifies the requirement that reports on Senate amendments in disagreement by a conference committee, and any accompanying statements, be available for 72 hours in the Congressional Record. This 72- hour period now begins when the relevant text is either made available in the Congressional Record or made publicly available at an electronic document repository operated by the Clerk. Committee Vote Availability. Subsection (i) modernizes the requirement for committees to make the results of record votes publicly available by removing the requirement that they be made available to the public for in-person inspection in committee offices. Committees will still be required to make the results of record votes publicly available electronically within 48 hours of the vote. Amendment Availability. Subsection (j) builds on the requirement for committee chairs to make amendments adopted by their committees publicly available within 24 hours by requiring all other amendments--which includes failed or withdrawn amendments--to be posted within 48 hours of their disposition or withdrawal. This requirement does not apply to amendments not offered. Truth-In-Testimony Reform. Subsection (k) amends the disclosure requirements for witnesses appearing in nongovernmental capacities by: (1) adding grants to the reporting requirement for foreign payments; (2) expanding the lookback period for reporting to 36 months; (3) requiring witnesses to disclose whether they are the fiduciary of any organization or entity with an interest in the subject matter of the hearing; and (4) requiring, to the extent practicable, the disclosures be made publicly available 24-hours prior to the witness's appearance at a hearing. The subsection also updates the text of clause 2(g)(5) of rule XI for clarity. Electronic Filing of Reports and Electronic Signatures. Subsection (l) authorizes electronic filing of committee reports, which was temporarily allowed by House Resolution 965 of the 116th, and allows electronic signatures to be used for signed views in committee reports and for select forms received by the Committee on Ethics. Reports received electronically will be processed as otherwise provided in rule XIII, and committees filing electronic reports should continue to consult with the Clerk regarding proper format and other administrative requirements. Subpoena Authority. Subsection (m) affirms that committees and subcommittees, pursuant to the longstanding subpoena authority granted by clause 2(m) of rule XI, may authorize and issue subpoenas for documents or testimony to any person or entity, whether governmental, public, or private, within the United States. The language makes clear that the rule expressly authorizes the issuance of subpoenas to any current or former President and Vice President, either in their personal or official capacity, as well as the White House, the Office of the President, the Executive Office of the President, and any individual currently or formerly employed by those entities. This is not a change to, but rather a clearer affirmation of, existing authorities. Committee on Ethics. Subsection (n) provides that a Member may serve on the Committee on Ethics during a fifth Congress in a period of five successive Congresses if they are the chair or ranking member of the committee. It also clarifies that various provisions within clause 3 of rule XI apply to Delegates and Resident Commissioners. Audio and Video Recordings. Subsection (o) modifies the description of committee proceedings that may not be used or made available for any partisan political campaign purpose to clarify the provision's application to all such audio and video coverage regardless of the specific technological device or recording medium used. Cosponsorship Withdrawal. Subsection (p) eliminates the requirement that a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner obtain unanimous consent to remove their name as a cosponsor of a bill or resolution, instead allowing the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner to remove their own name by making a demand from the floor. The sponsor of a bill, however, must still make a unanimous-consent request in order to remove a cosponsor, and cosponsors may still only be removed until the last committee of referral reports the bill to the House or is discharged from its consideration. Comparative Prints. Subsection (q) removes the requirement, added in the 115th Congress, that prior to the consideration of bills, joint resolutions, and amendments in the nature of a substitute, comparative prints must be made available. However, section 3(j) of this resolution directs the relevant committees and offices of the House to continue efforts to further the institutional priority of enabling all House staff to produce such comparative prints. Requiring Committee Hearing and Markup on Bills and Joint Resolutions. Subsection (r) codifies in the standing rules of the House a separate order from the 116th Congress requiring a committee hearing and markup in order for most bills and joint resolutions to be considered pursuant to a special order of business reported by the Committee on Rules. The subsection provides a point of order against consideration if such a measure has not been reported by at least one committee, effective March 1st of an odd-numbered year. A point of order also lies against any bill or joint resolution reported by a committee if the report does not contain a list of relevant committee and subcommittee hearings which includes the designation of at least one such hearing that was used to develop or consider the underlying measure. Finally, the provision provides exceptions to the points of order for resolutions continuing appropriations for a fiscal year, measures that contain specified emergency designations pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, measures considered pursuant to the Consensus Calendar, and measures not referred to committee. Pursuant to section 3(u), because of the challenges facing committees operating during a pandemic, this rule will not take effect in the 117th Congress until April 1, 2021. Motion to Recommit. Subsection (s) provides that a motion to recommit (or commit) a bill or joint resolution to a standing or select committee may only be made without instructions and is not debatable. It also provides that the previous question is considered as ordered on any such motion. The subsection makes a conforming change to the prohibition on the Committee on Rules from reporting a rule preventing a motion to recommit in order to remove the specification that instructions must be permitted. The subsection also removes the now-extraneous mandates that motions to recommit with instructions must be in the form of a direction to be reported back to the House forthwith and that instructions in a motion to recommit to conference may not include argument. The rule continues to prioritize recognition of an opponent of the underlying measure, but the Chair will address contested opposition when challenged on the floor rather than continuing the practice of querying for opposition at the time the motion is made. District of Columbia Business. Subsection (t) removes a no- longer-used provision setting aside the second and fourth Mondays of a month for District of Columbia business called up by the Committee on Oversight and Reform. Title Amendments. Subsection (u) limits the offering of amendments to the titles of bills and resolutions to the Majority Leader or a designee. Reconciliation Directives. Subsection (v) strikes the contents of clause 7 of rule XXI, which created a point of order against a concurrent resolution on the budget, amendments to a budget resolution, or a conference report on a budget resolution, containing reconciliation directives that would have the effect of increasing net direct spending. Clause 10 of rule XXI, the PAYGO rule, continues to apply to any reconciliation measure reported pursuant to such directives. Availability of Measures. Subsection (w) modifies the text availability requirement for unreported bills and joint resolutions by specifying that the 72-hour availability period may begin when the text of the measure is made electronically available prior to its introduction. Although the introduced measure must consist of the exact text of the language made electronically available prior to introduction in order to qualify under this updated rule, changes to a measure's text made after its introduction by a self-executing special rule do not impact this availability period. Prohibited Service. Subsection (x) modifies a provision in the Code of Official Conduct added in the 116th Congress prohibiting Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, officers, and employees of the House from serving as an officer or director of any public company by replacing a direction to the Committee on Ethics to develop regulations with a requirement for compliance with such regulations as the Committee has since promulgated these regulations. Code of Official Conduct. Subsection (y) adds three new clauses to the Code of Official Conduct. First, the new clause 20 of rule XXIII prohibits a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House from disseminating by electronic means, including social media, any image, video, or audio file that has been distorted or manipulated with the intent to mislead the public. This new clause includes a safe harbor provision to protect individuals who have made reasonable efforts to determine if the audio or visual representation has been distorted or manipulated. Second, the new clause 21 of rule XXIII protects Congressional whistleblowers by preventing a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House from taking any actions to prevent an individual from, or to retaliate against an individual for, providing truthful information to the Committee on Ethics, the Office of Congressional Ethics, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights, or any law enforcement official, provided that the disclosure of such information is not otherwise prohibited by law or House rules. Third, the new clause 22 of rule XXIII further protects the identities of whistleblowers by prohibiting a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House from knowingly and willfully publicly disclosing the identity or personally identifiable information of an individual who is granted protections under federal whistleblower laws. Exempted from this prohibition are cases in which: (1) the individual has provided express written consent prior to such disclosure; (2) the individual has already voluntarily and publicly disclosed their identity; or (3) the disclosure is by the chair of a committee after an affirmative vote by two-thirds of the committee members that such disclosure is in the public interest. Additionally, nothing in this new whistleblower protection will inhibit the investigation of any allegation of wrongdoing disclosed by any individual or prevent the public disclosure of substantive information shared that is not personally identifiable.Disclosures by the chair of a committee are subject to appropriate safeguards, including advance notice to the individual including a written explanation of the reasons for the disclosure. Communications Standards Commission. Subsection (z) renames the House Commission on Congressional Mailing Standards to the House Communications Standards Commission, conforming to a change made in H.R. 133 of the 116th Congress. The new name reflects the Commission's jurisdiction over all mass communications. Section 3. Separate Orders Member Day Hearing Requirement. Subsection (a) requires each standing committee (except for the Committee on Ethics) to hold a Member Day Hearing during the first session of the 117th Congress to hear testimony from Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner--whether or not they are a member of the committee--on proposed legislation within its jurisdiction. The subsection permits the Committee on Rules to hold its Member Day Hearing during the second session, in order to receive testimony on proposed changes to the standing rules for the next Congress. Deposition Authority. Subsection (b) provides the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and each standing committee of the 117th Congress (except for the Committee on Rules) the authority to order the taking of a deposition by a member or counsel of such committee. Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner may participate in all such depositions, but their presence is not required. Depositions taken under this authority are subject to regulations issued by the chair of the Committee on Rules and printed in the Congressional Record, and such authority continues to include potential supplemental regulations. War Powers Resolution. Subsection (c) expressly provides that any motion to discharge a measure introduced pursuant to section 6 or section 7 of the War Powers Resolution would not be subject to a motion to table. Exercise Facilities for Former Members. Subsection (d) continues the prohibition on access to any exercise facility that is made available exclusively to Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, former Members, former Delegates, former Resident Commissioners, officers, and former officers of the House and their spouses to any former Member, former Delegate, former Resident Commissioner, former officer, or spouse who is a lobbyist registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 or any successor statute, or who is an agent of a foreign principal as defined in clause 5 of rule XXV. Empaneling Investigative Subcommittee of the Committee on Ethics. Subsection (e) carries forward House Resolution 451 from the 110th Congress, directing the Committee on Ethics to empanel an investigative subcommittee or issue a report within 30 days of the date a Member, Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner is indicted or criminal charges are filed. The subsection updates any references in House Resolution 451 to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to be references to the Committee on Ethics. Non-Disclosure Agreements. Subsection (f) continues a provision from the 116th Congress which provides that Non- Disclosure Agreements required by offices as a condition of employment for paid or unpaid staff or contractors cannot require notice or approval for employees to communicate with the Committee on Ethics, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights, or any other office or entity designated by the Committee on House Administration; and that Non-Disclosure Agreements must also provide clear guidance to that effect. Requiring Members to Pay for Discrimination Settlements. Subsection (g) continues from the 116th Congress a requirement for a Member, Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner to reimburse the Treasury for any settlement of a complaint related to a claim alleging a violation by the Member of sections 201(a), 206(a), or 207 of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, which cover discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (which the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recognizes as including sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, or an employee's service in the uniformed services, and retaliation for claims alleging such discrimination. Mandatory Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policies for House Offices. Subsection (h) continues from the 116th Congress a requirement that each House office adopt an anti- harassment and anti-discrimination policy and requires the Committee on House Administration to issue regulations to carry out the subsection by April 1, 2021. Displaying Statement of Rights and Protections Provided to House Employees. Subsection (i) continues from the 116th Congress a requirement that the Committee on House Administration issue regulations requiring each House office to prominently display a statement of the rights and protections provided to House employees under the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, including procedures available to employees for responding to and adjudicating allegations of workplace rights violations. Broadening Availability and Utility of Legislative Documents in Machine-Readable Formats. Subsection (j) instructs the Committee on House Administration, the Clerk, and other officers and officials to continue to advance government transparency by taking further steps to publish documents of the House in machine-readable formats and broaden their utility by enabling all House staff to create comparative prints. Improving the Committee Electronic Document Repository. Subsection (k) directs the Clerk, the Committee on House Administration, and other officers and officials to improve the existing electronic document repository operated by the Clerk for use by committees. Such improvements are intended to increase public availability and identification of legislative information produced by House committees, including votes, amendments, and witness disclosure forms. Inclusion of Citations for Proposed Repeals and Amendments. Subsection (l) continues a requirement for parallel citations, to the maximum extent practicable, for amendatory instructions to Public Laws and Statutes at Large that are not classified in the U.S. Code. Providing for Transparency with Respect to Memorials Submitted Pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United States. Subsection (m) carries forward provisions that clarify the procedures of the House regarding the receipt of Article V memorials from the States by directing the Clerk to make each memorial, designated by the chair of the Committee on the Judiciary, electronically available, organized by State of origin and year of receipt, and indicate whether the memorial was designated as an application or rescission. In carrying out this subsection, it is expected that the chair of the Committee on the Judiciary will be solely charged with determining whether a memorial purports to be an application of the legislature of a state calling for a constitutional convention or rescission of prior applications. The Clerk's role will be entirely administrative. The chair of the Committee on the Judiciary will only designate memorials from state legislatures (and not petitions from individuals or other parties), as it is only state legislatures that are contemplated under Article V of the Constitution. In submitting each memorial to the Clerk, the chair of the Committee on the Judiciary will include a transmission letter that indicates it has been designated under this subsection of House Resolution 5. The Clerk will make publicly available the memorial and the transmission letter from the chair. Ancillary documentation from the state or other parties is not expected to be publicized. Subcommittees. Subsection (n) waives clause 5(d) of rule X to allow the Committee on Agriculture up to six subcommittees, which is consistent with authorities in the 114th, 115th, and 116th Congresses. Congressional Member Organization Transparency Reform. Subsection (o) continues to allow participating Members to enter into agreements with eligible Congressional Member Organizations for the purpose of payment of salaries and expenses. The subsection requires that for the organization to be eligible during the 117th Congress, the organization must register with the Committee on House Administration, designate a single Member to be responsible for the administration of the organization, have at least 3 employees assigned to perform some work for the organization, and had at least 15 Members during the 116th Congress using a portion of their Members' Representational Allowance (MRA) to pay for the salaries and expenses of the organization. Budget Matters. Subsection (p) reestablishes that the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels as contained in the statement of the chair of the Committee on the Budget of May 1, 2020, as adjusted in the 116th Congress, are effective pending the adoption of a fiscal year 2021 budget resolution. Reissuance of Subpoenas Prior to Committee Organization. Subsection (q) authorizes the chair of the Committee on Oversight and Reform to issue subpoenas related to the Committee's investigation, initiated during the 116th Congress, into the accuracy and timing of the 2020 decennial census. The subsection also authorizes the chair of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis to issue subpoenas related to the Select Subcommittee's investigation, likewise initiated during the 116th Congress, into political interference in the response to the coronavirus pandemic at the Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Numbering of Bills. Subsection (r) reserves the first 10 numbers for bills (H.R. 1 through H.R. 10) for assignment by the Speaker and the second 10 numbers (H.R. 11 through H.R. 20) for assignment by the Minority Leader. Remote Voting by Proxy and Remote Committee Activity. Subsection (s) carries forward House Resolution 965 from the 116th Congress with the following changes: (1) notification and availability requirements do not apply to proxy revocation letters submitted to the Clerk after a Member has automatically revoked their proxy by voting in person; (2) committees may hold official business meetings without submitting a letter regarding requirements formerly contained in the remote committee regulations; and (3) the chair of the Committee on House Administration is required, in consultation with the ranking member, to identify and submit to the Speaker and to the chair and ranking member of the Committee on Rules specific operable and secure technology that may be used to conduct remote voting in the House--certification of that submission replaces a previous requirement in section 5(a) of H. Res. 965. Witness Diversity. Subsection (t) requires the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to provide a report to the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Rules recommending a method to survey the diversity of witness panels at committee hearings by July 1, 2021. It requires the Committees on House Administration and Rules to take any necessary steps to ensure its implementation by July 31, 2021. Requirements for Committee Hearing and Markup. Subsection (u) provides that during the 117th Congress, the requirement that committees hold a hearing and a markup for most bills and joint resolutions considered pursuant to a rule (added to the standing rules by section 2(r) of this resolution) shall not apply before April 1, 2021. This delay in implementation is due to the increased difficulty of organizing committees and holding committee proceedings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exemptions. Subsection (v) provides that the Chair of the Committee on Budget may adjust an estimate to exempt the budgetary effects of measures to prevent, prepare for, or respond to economic or public health consequences resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; and measures to prevent, prepare for, or respond to economic, environmental, or public health consequences resulting from climate change. Further Expenses for Resolving Contested Elections. Subsection (w) authorizes such sums as may be necessary for the Committee on House Administration to resolve contested elections. Funds shall be available for expenses incurred between January 3, 2021, and January 3, 2022. Amounts made available under this subsection shall be expended in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Committee on House Administration. Support for Senate Measures. Subsection (x) requires the Clerk to submit to the chair of the Committee on Rules by February 1, 2021, regulations establishing a process for House Members to indicate their support for Senate-passed measures that have been received by the House, including maintaining a publicly available list of Members supporting each measure. The chair of the Committee on Rules is directed to print the regulations in the Congressional Record, at which point Members will be permitted to use the process to indicate their support for Senate measures. Section 4. Committees, Commissions, and House Offices House Democracy Partnership. Subsection (a) reauthorizes the House Democracy Assistance Commission, now known as the House Democracy Partnership. Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Subsection (b) reauthorizes the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. The subsection carries forward and makes minor modifications to provisions from the 116th Congress to reaffirm that the commission's budget is in addition to and separate from the amounts authorized for salaries and expenses of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and to ensure equal distribution of funding between the commission's co-chairs to reflect the bipartisan structure of the commission. Office of Congressional Ethics. Subsection (c) reauthorizes the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and carries forward provisions from the 116th Congress without substantive revision except that members may be reappointed for a fourth additional term. Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. Subsection (d) reauthorizes the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. The subsection carries forward and makes modest modifications to provisions from the 116th Congress. The investigative jurisdiction of the Select Committee shall consist of policies, strategies, and innovations to achieve substantial and permanent reductions in pollution and other activities that contribute to the climate crisis which will honor our responsibility to be good stewards of the planet for future generations and advance environmental justice. The Select Committee shall coordinate with and advise standing committees with relevant jurisdiction with respect to such policies, strategies, and innovations. Additionally, the Select Committee is authorized to receive any records transferred to it by a standing committee if obtained pursuant to a subpoena or deposition recommended by the Select Committee. The subsection requires that all policy recommendations be submitted to committees by December 31, 2021, and that all reports be submitted to the House by December 31, 2022. Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress. Subsection (e) reauthorizes the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress and carries forward provisions from the 116th Congress without substantive revision except that the final report shall be submitted by December 31, 2022. All references to the 116th Congress shall apply to the 117th Congress. Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Subsection (f) reauthorizes the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis of the Committee on Oversight and Reform and carries forward the authorizing provisions from the 116th Congress without revision. Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth. Subsection (g) establishes a Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth to investigate, study, make findings, and develop recommendations on policies, strategies, and innovations to make our economy work for everyone, empowering American economic growth while ensuring that no one is left out or behind in the 21st Century Economy. The Select Committee shall coordinate with and advise standing committees with relevant jurisdiction with respect to policy related to economic fairness, access to education, and workforce development. The Select Committee is authorized to hold hearings and may report to the House or any committee the results of its investigations and studies, together with any detailed findings and policy recommendations it deems advisable. The subsection requires that all policy recommendations be submitted to committees by December 31, 2021, and that all reports be submitted to the House by December 31, 2022. The Speaker is directed to appoint 15 Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner to serve on the Select Committee and to designate one of its members to serve as the chair. Six of the 15 members must be appointed on the recommendation of the Minority Leader. The Select Committee will be governed by Rules X and XI, except as provided in the subsection. The subsection does not extend subpoena and deposition authority to the Select Committee, but authorizes the Select Committee to submit subpoena and deposition recommendations to the relevant standing committees. Additionally, the Select Committee is authorized to receive any records transferred to it by a standing committee if obtained pursuant to a subpoena or deposition recommended by the Select Committee. $500,000 is authorized for the expenses of the Select Committee through March 31, 2021. III. COMMITTEE JURISDICTION AND ACTIVITIES A. Introduction The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee on Rules is set forth in clause 1(o) of rule X as follows: (o) Committee on Rules. (1) Rules and joint rules (other than those relating to the Code of Official Conduct) and the order of business of the House. (2) Recesses and final adjournments of Congress. The special oversight function of the Committee is outlined in clause 3(j) of rule X as follows: (j) The Committee on Rules shall review and study on a continuing basis the congressional budget process, and the committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the House from time to time. The jurisdictional mandate of the Committee for the purposes of this Survey of Activities is broken down into two subcategories: original jurisdiction matters and special rules (or order of business resolutions). In practice, these subgroups are intertwined in a manner that greatly affects the way in which the House conducts its business. Original jurisdiction matters include all measures pertaining to the rules of the House, the budget process and joint rules. These measures are either referred directly to the Committee by the Speaker or originate in the Committee itself. They not only pertain to changes in House procedures, but also cover the Committee's power to establish select committees, authorize certain investigations, provide enforcement procedures for the budget process, and to establish Congressional procedures for considering certain executive branch proposals. The Committee held 8 hearings on matters of original jurisdiction during the 117th Congress. The other subgroup of the Committee's jurisdictional mandate, referred to as order of business resolutions or `special rules,' is used by the Committee to direct the manner in which a bill or resolution will be considered by the House. `Special rules,' in the form of House resolutions, tailor the time allotted for debate and the process by which a bill can be amended. This is done to allow the House to consider the subject matter in a way which best suits the bill's individual issues and/or controversies. These `rules' also may contain waivers of specific House rules or provisions in the Congressional Budget Act. It is sometimes necessary to waive the rules of the House in order to allow the House to consider all the facets of the particular issue or to facilitate the House resolving its differences with the Senate. Special rules also allow the House to consider measures according to the majority leadership's legislative scheduling priorities rather than the numerical order in which they were reported. During the 117th Congress, the Committee held 80 rule meetings and reported 80 special orders providing for the consideration of 146 bills and resolutions, and 15 Senate amendments. The Committee granted no open rules, no modified open rules, 59 structured rules, and 89 closed rules for the consideration of bills and resolutions. Additionally, the Committee granted fifteen rules providing for the consideration of senate amendments, one rule providing for general debate, one rule providing for consideration of a bill, and one rule waiving Rule XIII, clause 6(a). In summary, of the 80 special orders reported by the Committee on Rules, the House adopted 77, one of which were amended, three which were tabled, and rejected none. At the close of the 117th Congress, no Rules Committee matters remained on the House Calendar. The Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process held three hearings during the Congress, the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House held none, and the Subcommittee on Expedited Procedures held none. B. Special Orders or Rules 1. RULE REQUESTS The process of considering requests for special orders or ``rules'' usually begins when the Committee on Rules receives a letter from a committee requesting that it hold a hearing and consider a rule for that particular measure. The letter is signed by the full committee chair and most often makes a specific request for the type of rule desired by the committee. In some cases, the emergency nature of the legislation does not allow adequate time for a formal request to be registered. In these cases, the requests are traditionally made in person by the chair of the committee with jurisdiction. Once a hearing has been scheduled, the Committee on Rules allows any House Member who has an interest in testifying to do so. Under normal circumstances and pursuant to Committee rules, printed copies of the legislation and accompanying committee report or conference report are provided to the Committee Members at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. The Committee gives written notice to its Members and notifies the pertinent committee of the scheduled hearing date at least 48 hours prior to the commencement of the hearing, unless an emergency situation exists. 2. HEARINGS The Rules Committee chair controls the order in which witnesses appear and also initiates the questioning. Typically, the chair of the committee of jurisdiction or a designee requesting the rule makes a short statement, followed by the ranking minority member. Sometimes the subcommittee chair and ranking minority member appear on behalf of their full committee counterparts on the rule request. It is often the case that Members wishing to testify in favor of or in opposition to a bill, amendment, or type of procedure may do so as part of a panel of witnesses. In many cases, the components of the proposed special order form the basis for the dialogue between substantive committee leaders asking for the rule and the Rules Committee Members. More often than not, the questioning escalates into discussions about the merits of the bill itself. If the legislation is particularly wide-ranging or controversial, Representatives who do not sit on the relevant legislative committee seek to testify. (Except in the most unusual circumstances, only House Members are allowed to testify during a rule request hearing.) Questioning of each witness takes place under the five-minute rule until each Committee Member has had an opportunity to question each witness. Questioning is rather informal. The chair rarely enforces the five-minute rule, and Committee Members yield to one another to allow their colleagues to make a specific point or follow up on a line of questioning. A quorum, which exists when at least seven Rules Committee members of the 13 are in attendance, must be present before a recommendation on a rule can be ordered reported, postponed, or tabled. After the Committee votes to approve a rule, the chair and ranking minority member each assign one of their Members to manage the rule on the floor. The majority manager's name appears on the rule and report, and that Member usually files the rule from the House floor, at which time the resolution and report are assigned a number. Any Member may ask for a record or a division vote. In the past, most decisions of the Committee were made by voice vote, but in the last several Congresses there has been an increase in the number of record votes demanded. For the entire 100th Congress there were 18 roll call votes demanded; in the 101st Congress there were 26; in the 102d there were 193; in the 103d there were 533; in the 104th there were 327; in the 105th there were 104; in the 106th there were 119; in the 107th there were 176; in the 108th there were 326; in the 109th there were 254; in the 110th there were 620; in the 111th there were 517; in the 112th there were 366; in the 113th there were 213; in the 114th there were 221; in the 115th there were 287; in the 116th there were 363. This Congress, 310 recorded votes were requested. [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT] Once a special rule has been reported, the Majority Leader--working closely with the Speaker, the Rules Committee chair, and the substantive committee chair--decides upon an appropriate date and time for the consideration of the rule on the floor. Rules can be considered on the same day they are reported, if the House agrees to consideration of the rule by a two-thirds vote. After a one-day layover, rules may be considered at any time without being subject to a question of consideration. The Committee may occasionally report a rule waiving this requirement with respect to another rule. 3. SPECIAL ORDERS OR RULES a. Background Table 1 in the Appendix categorizes all special rules granted by the Committee. These special rules are broken down into a number of different categories dealing with all stages of the legislative process in the House. The Rules Committee has granted special rules that provided for specified amendment and debate structures, which assisted floor managers in managing the schedule. The Committee has also granted special rules for the consideration of legislation that resolved differences among, and responded to, the legislative actions of committees. Some of these rules can also address House-Senate relations. The explanations of these types of special rules and their methods of categorization are outlined below. b. Categories of Rules Granted with Amendment Structures In categorizing special rules that specified an amendment structure, this report focuses only on those rules that both provided for the initial consideration of bills, joint resolutions or budget resolutions and which provided for an amending process. Therefore, rules providing for general debate only, stopping short of consideration of the measure for amendment, or providing for consideration of a conference report (which are otherwise privileged and, under regular order are non-amendable) are not included in these categories. The amendment structure categories are as follows: (1) open rules, (2) modified open rules--requiring amendment pre-printing in the Congressional Record, (3) structured rules, (4) closed rules, (5) senate amendment rules, and (6) conference report rules. (1) Open Rules. Under an open rule, any Member may offer an amendment that complies with the standing rules of the House and the Budget Act. The rule itself places no restrictions or prohibitions on amendments and provides an equal opportunity for all Members to offer amendments. (2) Modified Open Rules (Required Amendment Preprinting in the Congressional Record). This type of rule permits the offering of only those amendments preprinted in the Congressional Record. A modified open rule with a preprinting requirement could require that amendments be printed in the Congressional Record by a specific date (in some cases the amendment must be printed before its consideration); in other cases, printing must occur before the consideration of the bill. In most cases these rules do not prohibit second degree amendments. Requiring that amendments be printed in advance of their consideration affords Members a better idea of the range of issues to be debated and voted on during consideration of the bill. This can particularly be true of bills or joint resolutions involving complex or confidential matters. (3) Structured or Modified Closed Rules. Under a structured rule, the Rules Committee limits the amendments that may be offered to only those amendments designated in the special rule or in the Rules Committee report to accompany the rule, or which precludes amendments to a particular portion of a bill, even though the rest of the bill may be completely open to amendment. In the case of a structured rule, the Chair will announce through a one-minute speech on the floor of the House and through a ``Dear Colleague'' letter the intention of the Committee to hold a hearing on a measure and to review all amendments. The Chair requests that Members provide the Rules Committee with copies of their proposed amendments in advance of the Committee meeting. In some instances, the amendments made in order represent all of the amendments submitted to the Committee. (4) Closed Rules. This type of rule is one under which no amendments may be offered from the House floor. (5) Senate Amendment Rules. This type of rule generally provides for the consideration of a Senate amendment or amendments in the House and for a motion to concur in the Senate amendment with or without an amendment. These rules also usually specify a period of time for debate on the motion equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee of jurisdiction, as well as any necessary waivers against consideration of either the Senate amendment or against the motion to concur. (6) Conference Report Rules. Under the standing rules of the House, conference reports are privileged matters. Unless the requirement is waived, House rules require that a conference report be available for at least three calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) before it can be called up for consideration. After that time, because it is privileged, it can be called up at any time without a rule from the Rules Committee. If, however, a conference report is in violation of a rule of the House or some extraordinary procedure for consideration of the report is desired, a special rule may be necessary for the conference report to be considered. Consequently, conference report rules generally provide waivers of all points of order against consideration of the conference report and provide that the conference report be considered as read, which effectively waives the three-day availability requirement. It should be noted that points of order against a conference report lie against its consideration, not against individual provisions contained within the report. A conference report represents the collective agreement of the House and the Senate. Changing individual components of the agreement violates the sanctity of the agreement itself. Consequently, agreeing to a conference report is an all-or-nothing question. This is also the reason why, even as privileged matters, conference reports are not amendable on the floor of the House (except on recommit when applicable). c. Categories of Rules Granted with Certain Floor Management Tools Special rules are often utilized to assist the Majority Leader in setting the Floor schedule of the House, as well as to equip committee chairs and ranking minority members with the special procedural tools necessary to efficiently manage the floor consideration of a bill. These categories include (1) expedited procedure rules, (2) suspension day rules, and (3) chairman's en bloc authority rules. (1) Expedited Procedure Rules. This type of rule waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a special rule on the same day it is reported from the Rules Committee) against certain resolutions reported from the Rules Committee. These rules generally specify the measures or object to which the waiver applies, as well as a defined time period for its application. These rules are commonly referred to as ``same-day'' rules. In some cases the rule will not specify the object of the waiver. These rules are referred to as ``blanket same-day'' rules. (2) Suspension Day Rules. Under House Rule XV, it is in order on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week, and during the last six days of a session, for the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules and pass legislation. This category of rule authorizes the Speaker to entertain motions to suspend the rules on days other than Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Generally, these rules specify the object that is to be considered under suspension of the rules. In some cases the object may not be identified, but the rule may provide that the Speaker or their designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or their designee on the object of any suspension considered under the rule. (3) Chair's En Bloc Authority Rules. This category of rule authorizes the chair of a committee (usually the majority floor manager of the bill under consideration) or his or her designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments made in order by the special rule that have not earlier been disposed of. In most cases, the rule also allows germane modifications to any such amendments included in the en bloc amendment only by unanimous consent. With the exception of rules on appropriations bills (which permit en bloc amendments that do not increase budget authority or outlays in the bill), a Member seeking to offer amendments en bloc must obtain unanimous consent if they amend portions of the bill not yet open to amendment, unless a special rule authorizes several amendments to be offered and considered as a group. There is usually a specified time for divided debate on the amendment and a prohibition on amendments to and demands for a division of the question on the en bloc amendment. Generally, the original sponsor of the amendment must agree to having the amendment considered en bloc, and these rules generally provide that the original proponent of an amendment included in such an en bloc amendment may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of the en bloc amendment. Such a rule enables the floor manager to maximize efficiency and consensus while minimizing duplicative floor time and consideration. d. Categories of Rules Granted to Resolve Differences Among and Responding to the Legislative Actions of Committees As the nexus of the legislative process in the House, the Rules Committee often is the institutional mechanism used to reconcile differences in legislative recommendations among multiple committees. Two often used, and often misunderstood, special rule features utilized to achieve these goals are (1) self-executing rules and (2) original text rules. (1) Self-Executing Rules. This type of rule provides that, upon the adoption of the special rule, the text of a measure is modified or amended in some specified manner. Therefore, the House's adoption of the rule itself has the effect of amending the underlying measure. Occasionally, a self-executing rule may also provide for the adoption of other unrelated measures or actions, such as adopting another simple resolution, bill, joint resolution or conference report. Self-executing rules may be utilized by the Rules Committee for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: the correction of rule or Budget Act violations; providing for the adoption of the committee- recommended amendment; the reconciling of multiple committee legislative recommendations, the elimination of procedural votes; the separation of policy issues; or, the complete redrafting of the legislation. (2) Original Text Rules. When a committee reports a measure, it often will favorably report the measure with a recommendation that an amendment or amendments be adopted by the full House. These amendments reflect the collegial action of the committee on that measure. This type of rule generally provides that the committee-recommended amendment be adopted by the House and become the base text for the purpose of further amendment to the bill. This is often done to acknowledge the actions of the committee at the beginning of the consideration of a bill, and also to simplify the amendment process. e. Categories of Rules Granted Dealing with House-Senate Relations While resolving differences with the Senate often involves privileged motions in the House, the Rules Committee is often called upon to expedite such procedural situations or to address unique procedural circumstances. The categories of such special rules are (1) Senate hook-up rules, (2) motion to go to conference rules, (3) engrossment of multiple measures rules, and (4) instructing the Clerk regarding the transmittal of papers. (1) Senate Hook-up Rules. The rules of the House provide for three methods of getting to conference with the Senate: (1) agreeing to a motion to go to conference by unanimous consent; (2) obtaining a special rule from the Rules Committee; or (3) receiving specific authorization from each committee that received an initial referral of and reported the bill (clause 1 of Rule XXII). Most often chairmen obtain conference authority from their committee at the time a bill is ordered reported. Most special rules allowing for a Senate hook-up provide that after passage of a House bill, it shall be in order to take a specific Senate bill from the Speaker's table, consider it in the House, and to move to strike all after the enacting clause and insert the text of the House bill as passed by the House. These special rules further provide that if the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on its amendment and request a conference with the Senate. These hook- up provisions can either be included in the original rule providing for consideration of the House bill or in a separate special rule. (2) Motion to go to Conference Rules. These special rules are those separate rules that provide for the motion to go to conference with the Senate, by either disagreeing with the Senate position and requesting a conference or insisting on the House position and agreeing to a conference. (3) Engrossment of Multiple Measures Rules. These types of special rules generally provide for separate consideration and final passage votes on multiple bills, generally relating to a similar issue. The rule then instructs the House Clerk to engross the individually-passed bills into one bill before transmitting them to the Senate for consideration. (4) Instructing the Clerk Regarding the Transmittal of Papers. These types of special rules instruct the Clerk to withhold the transmittal of papers until the Clerk is notified of certain actions taken by the other body. This is done to address timing issues related to the passage or consideration of measures by the Senate. f. Categories of Rules Granted with Certain Housekeeping Tools Special rules are often utilized to assist House Leadership and committees with housekeeping elements to ensure the smooth running of House floor operations generally during constituent work breaks. (1) Providing Procedures for Pro Forma Sessions. During periods when the House is unable to adjourn pursuant to a concurrent resolution, the Rules Committee will sometimes provide the chair with additional authority to manage required pro forma sessions. This authority may include allowing the chair to adjourn on his or her own, to toll periods for consideration of certain privileged matters, and other similar tools to provide for the orderly conduct of pro forma sessions during district work periods. (2) Report Filing Authority. When a committee favorably reports a measure, it must file an accompanying report describing the purpose and scope of the legislation and the reasons for recommended approval. This tool allows for the filing of these reports from specific committees on days when the House is not otherwise in session. 4. FLOOR CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL RULE When the time comes to call up a special rule, the majority member who filed the rule (a privileged House resolution), or another majority member of the Rules Committee designated by the chair, is recognized by the Speaker. That Member stands at the majority committee table on the House Floor. Once recognized, the member states: ``M__. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution __, and ask for its immediate consideration.'' Any Member of the Committee on Rules may be recognized to call up a rule that has been on the House Calendar for at least seven legislative days, and the Speaker is required to recognize the Rules Committee member as a privilege, as long as the member has given one day's notice of an intent to seek recognition for that purpose. Once the Clerk has read the resolution, the Speaker recognizes the majority Rules Committee member handling the rule for one hour. The majority floor manager then customarily yields thirty minutes to a minority counterpart for the purposes of debate only. The length of debate on the rule varies according to the complexity of the rule and the degree of controversy over the bill. Since a rule is considered in the House under the hour rule, no amendments are in order unless the majority floor manager offers an amendment or yields to another member for that purpose. At the conclusion of debate on the rule, the floor manager moves the previous question. If no objection is heard, the House proceeds to vote on the rule. If objection is heard, a vote occurs on the previous question. If the previous question is rejected, however, a member who opposed the previous question (usually the Rules Committee minority floor manager) is recognized. That Member then controls one hour of debate time on the rule. The member controlling the time may offer an amendment to the rule and then move the previous question on the amendment and on the rule when debate has concluded. Once the rule is adopted (with or without amendments), the legislation it concerns is eligible for consideration under the terms of the rule. 5. RULES REJECTED, TABLED, OR PENDING In the 117th Congress, the Committee on Rules reported 80 rules, 77 of which were adopted by the House. During the 117th Congress, no rules were rejected, and 3 rules were tabled by the House. There were no rules pending at the end of the 117th Congress. a. Rules Rejected by the House There were no rules rejected by the House during the 117th Congress. b. Rules Tabled by the House Three rules were tabled by the House during the 117th Congress: H. Res. 594, providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4) to amend the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to revise the criteria for determining which States and political subdivisions are subject to section 4 of the Act, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 3684) to authorize funds for Federal-aid highways, highway safety programs, and transit programs, and for other purposes; and providing for the adoption of the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 14) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2023 through 2031; and for other purposes, H. Res. 600, providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4) to amend the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to revise the criteria for determining which States and political subdivisions are subject to section 4 of the Act, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 3684) to authorize funds for Federal-aid highways, highway safety programs, and transit programs, and for other purposes; and providing for the adoption of the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 14) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2023 through 2031; and for other purposes, and H. Res. 972, providing for consideration of Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 2471) to measure the progress of post-disaster recovery and efforts to address corruption, governance, rule of law, and media freedoms in Haiti; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 75) making further continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purpose; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6968) to prohibit the importation of energy products of the Russian Federation, and for other purposes. c. Rules Pending There were no rules pending in the House during the 117th Congress. 6. EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS OF ALL POINTS OF ORDER The Committee on Rules customarily provides waivers of all points of order when constructing special rules for the consideration of measures. This is commonly referred to as a ``blanket waiver'' or ``prophylactic waiver'' because in most cases there are no applicable points of order against the measure. Just because a special rule includes a blanket waiver does not mean that points of order lie against any of the measures made in order or provisions contained in those measures; rather, blanket waivers ensure the immediate consideration of the underlying measure by providing the chair with the ability to easily dispense with dilatory or specious points of order by asserting that, ``pursuant to the previous order of the House, all points of order are waived.'' Also, as part of the Committee's role as scheduler for the House, it is the Committee's responsibility to ensure that when a majority of the House votes in favor of considering a measure notwithstanding any technical or substantive violations of the rules, a point of order would not prevent that measure's consideration. It is important to note that any specific waivers contained in a waiver of all points of order are required under clause 7(g) of rule XIII to be specified in the Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution and are also compiled in this report. 7.

There is also an indication whether the rule was waived against the bill (B), original text (OT), amendments (A), the number of which is indicated in [ ], a motion (M), a conference report (CR), or provisions (P); items accompanied by an asterisk (*) denote measures that the waiver with which they were granted in the committee report accompanying the resolution was not applied.

ORIGINAL JURISDICTION FULL COMMITTEE HEARINGS The following is a list of original jurisdiction hearings that were held by the Committee during the 117th Congress. a. Hearing on Article I: Reforming the War Powers Resolution for the 21st Century On March 23, 2021, the Committee on Rules held an original jurisdiction hearing entitled, ``Article I: Reforming the War Powers Resolution for the 21st Century.'' The discussion focused on the War Powers Resolution that was enacted in 1973 and how to recenter Congress's role in the decision of when and where to go to war.

Participants discussed how food insecurity is measured and the recent trends in data from across the country. Members and witnesses spoke to gaps created by certain domestic federal nutrition programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The discussion looked at models across the country that are fighting food insecurity at a local and state level and how those programs can be emulated on the federal. In addition, participants spoke on how these local, state, and federal organizations and programs have been affected for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Testimony was heard from one panel of four witnesses, Dr. Thea James, Vice President of Mission and Associate Chief Medical Officer, Boston Medical Center; Dr. Diane Schanzenbach, Margaret Walker Alexander, Professor, Northwestern School of Education and Social Policy; Ms. Ayesha Curry, Co-Founder, Eat.Learn.Play. Foundation; Ambassador, No Kid Hungry; Ms. Heather Reynolds, Managing Director of the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities, University of Notre Dame.

Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Hon. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Hon. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Hon. Joe Morelle (D-NY), Hon. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA), Hon. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN). c. Members' Day Hearing on Proxy Voting and Remote Committee Proceedings as Established by House Resolution 965 of the 116th Congress To ensure Congress could continue legislating during the COVID-19 pandemic, the House of Representatives adopted House Resolution 965 on May 15, 2020. The resolution provided for the temporary implementation of proxy voting on the House Floor and remote committee proceedings during a ``covered period'' designated by the Speaker after receiving a notification from the Sergeant-at-Arms, in consultation with the Attending Physician, that a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus is in effect. On March 17, 2022, the Committee on Rules held an open hearing to receive Member testimony on how proxy voting and remote committee proceedings have worked since their implementation in May, 2020; how these tools helped Congress safely operate through the public health emergency; and whether they have utility beyond the public health emergency. The Committee heard testimony from the following Members of Congress: Hon. Andy Biggs (AZ), Hon. Mike Bost (IL), Hon. Cathy Castor (FL), Hon. Rodney Davis (IL), Hon. Mark DeSaulnier (CA), Hon. Veronica Escobar (TX), Hon. C. Scott Franklin (FL), Hon. Mike Gallagher (WI), Hon. Steny H. Hoyer (MD), Hon. John W. Rose (TN), Hon. Chip Roy (TX), Hon. John H. Rutherford (FL), Hon. Linda T. Sanchez (CA), Hon. Jason Smith (MO), Hon. Mark Takano (CA), and Hon. Bruce Westerman (AR). Additionally, the following Members of Congress submitted written testimony for the record: Hon. Rick W. Allen (GA), Hon. Raul M. Grijalva (AZ), Hon. Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX), Hon. Kevin McCarthy (CA), Hon. Michael T. McCaul (TX), Hon. Stacey E. Plaskett (VI), Hon. Katie Porter (CA), Hon. Deborah K. Ross (NC), Hon. Glenn Thompson (PA), Hon. William R. Timmons IV (SC), and Hon. Maxine Waters (CA). The Committee heard a wide range of perspectives on proxy voting and remote committee proceedings. Majority Leader Hoyer (MD) testified that these tools enabled the House and its committees to meet safely and produce major legislation like the American Rescue Plan that helped address critical needs during the pandemic. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (CA), a member of the Rules Committee who is immunocompromised due to chronic cancer and a recent accident, discussed how proxy voting and remote committee proceedings allowed him to safely represent his constituents while not risking his life. House Republicans who have opposed these tools since their inception, including the Ranking Member of the House Administration Committee, Rep. Rodney Davis (IL), testified in opposition to proxy voting and remote committee proceedings. Minority Leader McCarthy (CA) submitted written testimony noting evidence that proxy voting is used for matters of convenience and that technology issues have marred remote committee proceedings. Five Committee Chairs testified in person and in writing that remote committee proceedings have not only enabled their committees to operate amid the pandemic, but that they have provided an added benefit of allowing a more diverse group of witnesses to provide testimony to their committees. These Chairs testified that remote committee proceedings should be allowed to continue into the future. Several Members testified that proxy voting helped them do their jobs during the pandemic and that it should be available to Members in some capacity post-pandemic. Rep. Veronica Escobar (TX) recommended that every Member get a certain number of days when they can proxy vote to allow Members to attend to responsibilities in district or family matters. Rep. Linda Sanchez (CA) testified about how proxy voting can be used to help working mothers in Congress. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO), a member of the Rules Committee, suggested that we enable proxy voting and remote committee proceedings in perpetuity without any restrictions. d. Members' Day Hearing on Proposed Rules Changes for the 118th Congress The 116th Rules Package was adopted by the House of Representatives on January 3, 2019. That package included a separate order referred to as the Member Day Hearing Requirement. This provision requires each Committee, except for the Committee on Ethics, to hold a Member Day Hearing during the first session of the 116th Congress to hear testimony from Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner--whether they are a member of the committee or not--on proposed legislation within its jurisdiction. The provision permits the Committee on Rules to hold its Member Day Hearing during the second session in order to receive testimony on proposed changes to the standing rules for the next Congress. This provision was also included in the Rules Package adopted for the 117th Congress. On November 29, 2022, the Committee on Rules fulfilled its Member Day Hearing Requirement by holding a hearing to receive Member testimony on proposed changes to the Rules of the House of Representatives for the 118th Congress. The Committee engaged with members in conversations on a wide range of topics. Chair Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) testified in favor of making remote or hybrid committee proceedings permanent, arguing that the remote option has been a valuable tool in gaining testimony from marginalized and underrepresented groups. On behalf of the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, Vice Chair William R. Timmons IV (R-SC) advocated for expanding trainings for both Members and staff, improving technological capabilities, and additional changes aimed at increasing the transparency and efficiency of the House. The Committee also discussed proposed changes to the 72-hour rule and vacating the Speaker's chair, as well as adding CBO scoring requirements, reimplementing the Holman rule, and requiring bills to be a single subject. Testimony was heard from and the Committee received statements from the following Members of Congress: Hon. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-GA), Hon. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Hon. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Hon. Warren Davidson (R-OH), Hon. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Hon. Bob Good (R-VA), Hon. H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Hon. Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ), Hon. David P. Joyce (R-OH), Hon. Robert E. Latta (R-OH), Hon. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Hon. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen (R-AS), Hon. Chip Roy (R-TX), Hon. W. Gregory Steube (R-FL), and Hon. William R. Timmons IV (R-SC). Additional discussion was heard from the following Members of the Committee: the Hon. James P. McGovern (D-MA), Chairman; Hon. Norma J. Torres (D-CA); Hon. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Hon. Jamie Raskin (D-MD); Hon. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA); Hon. Joseph D. Morelle (D-NY); Hon. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA); Hon. Deborah K. Ross (D-NC); Hon. Tom Cole (R-OK); Hon. Michael C. Burgess (R- TX); Hon. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA); Hon. Michelle Fischbach (R- MN). e. Hearing entitled ``Legal and Procedural Factors Related to Seating a Cherokee Nation Delegate in the U.S. House of Representatives'' On November 16, 2022, the Committee on Rules held an original jurisdiction hearing on the legal and procedural factors related to seating a Cherokee Nation Delegate in the U.S. House of Representatives. During the hearing, Members and witnesses discussed relevant history, treaty language and principles for interpreting treaties with Indian tribes. The 1835 Treaty of New Echota, which led to the forced removal of the Cherokees from their homelands along the Trail of Tears, provided that the Cherokee Nation ``shall be entitled to a delegate in the House of Representatives of the United States whenever Congress shall make provision for the same.'' A Cherokee Nation Delegate was never seated. During the conversation, participants considered potential legal factors regarding seating a Cherokee Nation Delegate. This is a novel legal issue with very little precedent, especially given the unique status of tribes under federal law and Indian treaty interpretation canon. Some potential legal challenges raised during the hearing included an argument that recognizing a Cherokee Delegate violates the voting rights principal known as the ``one-person, one-vote'' rule by giving members of the Cherokee Nation a ``super-vote.'' The discussion also included testimony on exploring procedural options for potential implementation of seating a Cherokee Nation Delegate. Some options discussed included enacting legislation which would require House and Senate agreement and presidential approval. A second option discussed was incorporation of the Cherokee Nation Delegate position into the Standing House Rules. Another topic discussed was the fact that other tribes are also requesting a Delegate or claim rights to a delegate through the New Echota Treaty or separate treaties. Letters from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the Delaware Nation, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians were submitted into the record of this hearing. Testimony was heard from one panel of three witnesses, Chuck Hoskin Jr., Principal Chief, Cherokee Nation; Professor Lindsay Robertson, Chickasaw Nation Endowed Chair in Native American Law, College of Law at the University of Oklahoma; and Mainon A. Schwartz, Legislative Attorney, Congressional Research Service. Additional discussion was heard from the following Members of the Committee: the Hon. James P. McGovern (D-MA), Chairman; Hon. Norma J. Torres (D-CA); Hon. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Hon. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Hon. Joseph D. Morelle (D-NY), Hon. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA), Hon. Deborah K. Ross (D-NC), Hon. Tom Cole (R-OK), Hon. Michael C. Burgess (R-TX), Hon. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), Hon. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN). IV. ACTIVITIES OF THE SUBCOMMITTEES A. Activities of the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process 1. JURISDICTION AND PURPOSE The Committee on Rules established the Subcommittee on Legislative Process in 1979 at the beginning of the 96th Congress; it has been reestablished at the start of each Congress since. In early 1995, the Committee changed the name of this body to the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process to better reflect its jurisdiction. In the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee retained its traditional makeup of seven members, with the majority holding five of the spots, and the minority holding the remaining two. Chaired by Rep. Alcee L. Hastings of Florida, until his passing, the Majority membership of the Subcommittee included Reps. Joseph D. Morelle of New York (who assumed the Chair position following Rep. Hastings' passing), Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania, Joe Neguse of Colorado (elected to the subcommittee following the passing of Rep. Hastings), and James P. McGovern of Massachusetts. The Minority members of the Subcommittee include Ranking Member Michael Burgess of Texas and Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma. Committee Rule 5(a)(1)(A) assigns to the Subcommittee the general responsibility for measures or matters related to relations between the Congress and the Executive Branch.

The Subcommittee also continues to exercise jurisdiction over budget process-related provisions found in Part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177 as amended by Public Laws 100-119, 101-508 and 103-44) and the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Title XIII of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-44)). Legislation is referred to the Subcommittee at the discretion of the Chair of the Committee on Rules. 2. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES IN THE 117TH CONGRESS a. Original jurisdiction hearing on Using Budget Principles to Prepare for Future Pandemics and Other Disasters On January 12th, 2022, the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process held an original jurisdiction hearing entitled, ``Using Budget Principles to Prepare for Future Pandemics and Other Disasters.'' The discussion focused on the importance of making strategic investments each year across the federal budget to ensure a strong, coordinated response to future pandemics and other disasters. Witnesses and Members analyzed lessons learned from the federal, state and local government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and explored how underinvestment in key programs exacerbated inequalities already present in society. Participants suggested potential ways to use the federal budget to improve disaster response, resiliency, and coordination between stakeholders. For example, creating systems to efficiently distribute emergency funding, allocating additional funding to surveillance, and monitoring to identify threats early, and investing in government social and public health programs. Testimony was heard from one panel of five witnesses, Ms. Julia Tedesco, President and CEO, Foodlink, Inc.; Dr. Helene Gayle, CEO, Chicago Community Trust; Mr. Jeff Schlegelmilch, Director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia Climate School; The Honorable Robert Kadlec, M.D., Former Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The hearing explored actions that Congress can take to better combat gun trafficking and ensure illegal guns do not make their way onto the streets of our communities. Witnesses discussed the importance of ensuring the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has the necessary tools to track and police gun trafficking, as well as critical funding streams for gun violence prevention research. The hearing also covered elements of H.R. 4423, the Gun Theft Prevention Act. Testimony was heard from one panel of four witnesses, Dr. Lois K. Lee MD, MPH, FAAP, FACEP, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician, Boston Children's Hospital Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School; Mr. Todd K. Baxter, Monroe County Sheriff, Rochester, New York; Mr. Robert Wilcox, Director of Federal Policy, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund; Mr. William Napier LPC, Security/ATF Compliance Consultant.

Original jurisdiction hearing on Legislative and Budgetary Solutions to Unfair Restrictions on Repair On September 21st, 2022, the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process held an original jurisdiction hearing entitled, ``Right to Repair: Legislative and Budgetary Solutions to Unfair Restrictions on Repair.'' The hearing explored actions that Congress can take to allow individuals the right to choose how they repair their own digital equipment, ensuring that companies who unfairly restrict the right to repair are held accountable. Participants discussed the importance of ensuring that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the necessary authority and resources to protect consumers from such anti-competitive conduct, as well as the economic impact these restrictions have on families and small business owners across the country.

LEGISLATION REFERRED TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE AND BUDGET PROCESS Legislation was not referred to the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process during the 117th Congress. B. Activities of the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House 1. JURISDICTION AND PURPOSE The Subcommittee was first established at the beginning of the 96th Congress as the Subcommittee on Rules of the House. At the beginning of the 104th Congress, its name was changed to the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House to more accurately reflect the Subcommittee's mission and jurisdiction. In the 107th Congress, the Subcommittee's name was modified to the Subcommittee on Technology and the House, and at the beginning of the 109th Congress, the name reverted back to the Subcommittee on Rules and Organization of the House. The Subcommittee's jurisdiction remains unchanged and it maintains its previous membership of seven Representatives, with five serving from the majority and two from the minority. Chaired by Rep. Norma J. Torres of California, the Majority membership of the Subcommittee included Reps. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado, Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania, Joe Neguse of Colorado, and James P. McGovern of Massachusetts. The Minority members of the Subcommittee included Ranking Member Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania and Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma.

The Subcommittee is primarily responsible for the continuing examination of the committee structure and jurisdictional issues of all House committees. It remains committed to a continuing study of the organization and operations of the House. Legislation is referred to the Subcommittee at the discretion of the Chair of the Committee on Rules. 2.

MINORITY VIEWS The Democratic Majority vowed the Rules of the House of Representatives for the 117th Congress would create ``a more accommodating process for ideas to be considered.'' Yet the past two years have shown those words to be nothing more than an empty promise. Congressional Democrats waived their heralded rules, departed from regular order, and shut out minority voices. They repeatedly and without remorse prioritized the agenda of Democratic Leadership and their elite liberal base over the ability of this institution to reflect the diversity of voices of American families. Departure From Regular Order Chairman McGovern once remarked that ``a lousy process leads to bad legislating,'' and we remind the majority of the wisdom of these words. When given the freedom to govern consistent with the long-standing precedents and Rules of the House, this institution can build consensus, conduct meaningful oversight, and ultimately improve the lives of the constituents we are humbled to represent. Take for example the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, where the Armed Services Committee wrote legislation with a robust amendment process both in committee and on the floor, and ultimately received broad bipartisan support and was signed into law. Unfortunately, during the 117th Congress, this was the exception, not the rule. Instead, the Rules Committee met 14 times on legislation made available to members less than 72 hours in advance, reported 30 times on legislation that did not go through regular order, violating the McGovern Rule, and forwent budget rules by waiving 57 Budget Act points of order and waiving points of order against rule XXI, clause 10, PAYGO, prohibiting legislation to increase the deficit without a sufficient offset 25 times. It is unfortunate Democratic Leadership sidelined most standing committees to push forward their progressive policy agenda without regard to the opportunity for meaningful bipartisan reforms. In addition to sidelining committees, the majority noticed 49 emergency measures, nearly 40 percent more than the 34 emergency measures under the Republican majority in the 115th Congress. This often provided Members with just one hour to review legislation and proposed amendments. Emergency measures were seemingly used by Democratic Leadership to pacify the loudest, and often most extreme, voices in their caucus, rather than reflect a true exceptional circumstance where the norms of regular order are temporarily suspended for the greater good of the country. For example, the Democratic Majority noticed four policing bills in late July but failed to bring them to the floor due to political pressure from left-wing activists. Nearly two months later, right before the midterm elections, House Democrats noticed those same bills under an ``emergency'' designation. Similarly kowtowing to demands by their caucus' left flank, the Rules Committee called an emergency meeting on the Protecting Renters from Evictions Act of 2021 (H.R. 4791). After the House waited in limbo for nearly nine hours, the majority failed to even report this so-called emergency from the Rules Committee. On four separate occasions, the Democratic Majority announced meetings on bills before text was available. For one of those measures--a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 3, 2021--text was still unavailable to members at the start of the hearing. Perhaps the most egregious example of the Democratic Majority's departure from regular order occurred during consideration of the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376). Democrats originally noticed an emergency meeting on October 28, 2021, on this legislation, along with a Rules Committee Print (RCP). However, the committee was forced to meet twice more with a different RCP, and a manager's amendment, before finally being able to report the bill to the House. However, only two weeks later, the majority again noticed an emergency meeting on the Build Back Better Act, which required an additional manager's amendment. Perhaps these procedural gymnastics could have been avoided if the Democrats had followed their own Rules and promises of regular order, deliberation, and transparency. Concerns With a Closed Process Committee Democrats were consistently critical whenever Republicans used a closed rule when they were in the minority, including Chairman McGovern, who expressed one of his biggest objections was ``closing off debate and denying not just Democrats but Republicans the chance to offer amendments on the House floor.'' Yet during the 117th Congress, rather than working towards a more open legislative process, Democrats failed to even attempt one open rule, instead passing 89 closed rules. Even under structured rules, the Democratic Majority silenced Republican ideas. Fewer than 20 percent of all amendments made in order were offered by Republicans. In fact, Chairman McGovern was quoted in a recent book, saying ``If you're . . . crazy, you're not getting an amendment.'' Democrats control the committees, Democrats control the legislative agenda, and yet still felt the need to block Republican ideas in favor of their own amendments. In comparison, under the Republican Majority in the 115th Congress, 45 percent of amendments, made in order were sponsored by Democrats, more than double what the Democrats did this Congress. Additionally, 60 Democratic amendments were self-executed, including multiple managers' amendments to Democrats' reconciliation package (H.R. 5376), because the Speaker was presumably not satisfied with what committees produced. On top of that, 38 separate items were deemed as passed, forgoing any debate or discussion or vote. The few Republican amendments that were made in order were often silenced on the floor through the Democratic Majority's fervent use and abuse of en bloc authority. Typically reserved for larger annual legislation, this majority provided en bloc authority 36 times on a wide range of bills. Over 75 percent of amendments made in order were placed in take-it-or-leave-it en bloc packages. Such packages on average contained almost 60 amendments, preventing debate on individual amendments, and ensuring that the fate of amendments was predetermined based on party affiliation rather than the merits of the policy. Abandonment of Institutional Norms One of the most disheartening trends during the 117th Congress was the departure from institutional norms. Even after most Americans returned to work, and despite the President stating the pandemic was over, the Speaker maintained strict and unnecessary COVID-19 protocols, not because of an articulated, science-based determination, but rather to keep her iron grip on the House floor in the face of a slim Democratic Majority. Additionally, the majority blocked members from exercising statutory rights--such as the ability for the House to vote on, or even debate, repealing the President's emergency declarations. Several major pieces of legislation, including the Democrats' bloated reconciliation bills, were voted on before the Congressional Budget Office was able to produce a final score, preventing members from understanding the full cost of legislation prior to being forced to vote. During the second session of this Congress, the Speaker reluctantly rolled back some provisions of the COVID-19 protocols, an authority in place for an unimaginable, record breaking 795 days. Additionally, Democrats finally allowed resolutions of inquiry, a longstanding oversight tool of the House used by both members of the minority and the majority, to regain their privileged status. Unfortunately, these gestures were too-little-too-late to be impactful. Ignoring the Needs of Everyday Americans It was deeply frustrating to see the Rules Committee agenda in the 117th Congress filled with hastily crafted, unvetted messaging bills that only exacerbated partisan divides and did little to address the critical issues facing our communities. It's unfortunate the Democratic Majority did not live up to the Chairman's promise of ``making this chamber work at its best for the people we represent.'' While we appreciate the intentions and collegiality of our Democratic colleagues on the Rules Committee, we submit these views with grave disappointment in the failures of the 117th Congress. Under Democratic Leadership, this committee failed the institution, failed our constituents, and ultimately failed to capitalize on the opportunity to govern, and govern well. If the Rules Committee is to remain the conscience of the institution and the torchbearer for regular order, we must do better. And in the 118th Congress, we will do better. Tom Cole (OK-04).
