Solution text

This bill provides for the election of members to standing committees of the House of Representatives. The Speaker shall, within 30 days of the adoption of this resolution, call for nominations from each party caucus for vacancies on standing committees. Each nomination shall be seconded by at least one member from the opposite party. The House shall then vote on each nominee by a simple majority. If a nominee fails to receive a majority, the Speaker shall reopen nominations within 10 days. This process ensures bipartisan input and formal approval for committee assignments, enhancing transparency and accountability. The Clerk of the House shall maintain a public record of all votes taken under this resolution.
