    Pursuant to clause 1(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee on Rules transmits 
herewith its Survey of Activities for the 117th Congress.

    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:

supervision and direction of the Chair, the member of the 
Committee who supervises and directs the staff member's work

than the tenth day of each month) a certification regarding the 
staff member's work for that member for the preceding calendar 
month.
    (2) The certification required by paragraph (1) shall be in 
such form as the Chair may prescribe, shall identify each staff 
member by name, and shall state that the work engaged in by the 
staff member and the duties assigned to the staff member for 
the member of the Committee with respect to the month in 
question met the requirements of clause 9 of rule X of the 
rules of the House.
    (3) Any certification of staff of the Committee, or any of 
its subcommittees, made by the Chair in compliance with any 
provision of law or regulation shall be made--
          (A) on the basis of the certifications filed under 
        paragraph (1) to the extent the staff is not under the 
        Chair's supervision and direction, and
          (B) on his own responsibility to the extent the staff 
        is under the Chair's direct supervision and direction.

                                 BUDGET

          (1) The Chair or acting Chair shall report it to the 
        House or designate a member of the Committee to do so.
          (2) In the case of a bill or resolution in which the

        schedule permits, any member of the Committee a 
        reasonable amount of time to submit views for inclusion 
        in the Committee report on the bill or resolution. Any 
        such report shall contain all matters required by the 
        Rules of the House of Representatives (or by any 
        provision of law enacted as an exercise of the 
        rulemaking power of the House) and such other 
        information as the Chair deems appropriate.
          (3) In the case of a resolution providing for 
        consideration of a measure, the Committee report 
        accompanying such resolution shall include an accurate

                                RECORDS

    (b)(1) There shall be a transcript made of each regular 
meeting and hearing of the Committee, and the transcript may be

technical, grammatical, and typographical corrections 
authorized by the person making the remarks. Nothing in this 
paragraph shall be construed to require that all such 
transcripts be subject to correction and publication.
    (2) The Committee shall keep a record of all actions of the 
Committee and of its subcommittees. The record shall contain 
all information required by clause 2(e)(1) of rule XI of the

Rules of the House.
    (4) The records of the Committee at the National Archives 
and Records Administration shall be made available for public 
use in accordance with rule VII of the Rules of the House. The 
Chair shall notify the ranking minority member of any decision, 
pursuant to clause 3(b)(3) or clause 4(b) of the rule, to 
withhold a record otherwise available, and the matter shall be 
presented to the Committee for a determination on written 
request of any member of the Committee.

                        AUDIO AND VIDEO COVERAGE

    (c) The Chair shall provide, to the maximum extent 
practicable--
          (1) complete and unedited audio and video broadcasts 
        of all committee hearings and meetings; and
          (2) for distribution of such broadcasts and unedited 
        recordings thereof to the public and for the storage of 
        audio and video recordings of the proceedings. 
        Proceedings shall be broadcast live on the Majority 
        Committee website and recordings shall be made 
        available on such website within one calendar day of 
        the proceeding.

                 COMMITTEE PUBLICATIONS ON THE INTERNET

    (d) To the maximum extent feasible, the Committee shall 
make its publications available in electronic form.

                                JOURNAL

such other matters as the Chair shall direct. The Journal shall 
be published periodically, but in no case less often than once 
in each session of Congress.
    (2) A rule is considered as formally requested when the 
Chairman of a committee of primary jurisdiction which has 
reported a bill or resolution (or a member of such committee 
authorized to act on the Chairman's behalf):
          (A) has requested, in writing to the Chair, that a 
        hearing be scheduled on a rule for the consideration of 
        the bill or resolution; and
          (B) has supplied the Committee with the bill or 
        resolution, as reported, together with the final 
        committee report thereon.

                    SURVEY OF ACTIVITIES REQUIREMENT

    (f) The Committee's Survey of Activities, filed pursuant to 
clause 1(d) of rule XI of the Rules of the House, shall include 
a compilation of all known waivers of points of order

rules or to facilitate the effective operation of the Committee 
and its subcommittees in a manner consistent with these rules.

                 Rule 9.--Amendments to Committee Rules

    The rules of the Committee may be modified, amended or 
repealed, in the same manner and method as prescribed for the 
adoption of committee rules in clause 2 of rule XI of the Rules 
of the House, but only if written notice of the proposed change 
has been provided to each Member at least 48 hours before the 
time of the meeting at which the vote on the change occurs. Any 
such change in the rules of the Committee shall be published in 
the Congressional Record within 30 calendar days after their 
approval.

 II. 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

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

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. WAIVERS OF HOUSE RULES

    The following compilation identifies the Rules of the House 
that were waived in specific resolutions and the legislation 
that required the waiver. 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.

 Rule XII, Clause 5--Prohibits consideration of a bill or an amendment thereto if it establishes or expresses a

                    8. WAIVERS OF BUDGET ENFORCEMENT

     The following compilation identifies the sections of the 
Budget Act that were waived in specific resolutions and the 
legislation that required the waiver. There is also an 
indication whether the rule was waived against the bill (B), 
the original text (OT), amendments (A), a motion (M), a 
conference report (CR), or provisions (P); items accompanied by 
two asterisks (**) denote measures that the waiver with which 
they were granted in the committee report accompanying the 
resolution was not necessary due to the House subsequently 
adopting an amendment(s) that cured the need for such waiver.

 Section 302(f)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act--Prohibits consideration of legislation providing new budget
                     authority in excess of a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such authority

                    C. Original Jurisdiction Matter


            1. 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. Members and witnesses explored limitations 
of this Resolution and identified ways the law should be 
reformed and modernized to work more effectively in the modern 
Congress. Participants also discussed the impact of Congress's 
diminished role on its ability to end war and the voice of 
Member's constituents. Testimony was heard from one panel of 
three witnesses, Rebecca Ingber, Professor of Law, Cardozo 
School of Law; Senior Fellow, Reiss Center on Law and Security 
at NYU School of Law; Tess Bridgeman, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Just 
Security; Senior Fellow and Visiting Scholar, NYU Law's Reiss 
Center on Law and Security; John B. Bellinger III, Partner,

    On April 28, 2021, the Committee on Rules held an original 
jurisdiction hearing entitled, ``Ending Hunger in America: 
Challenges, Opportunities, and Building the Political Will to 
Succeed.'' 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,

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 primary statute within the Subcommittee's jurisdiction 
is the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 
(Public Law 93-344 as amended). 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.
    Additional discussion was heard from the following Members 
of the Subcommittee, the Hon. Joe Morelle (D-NY), Chairman; 
Hon. Michael Burgess (R-TX), Ranking Member; Hon. Deborah Ross 
(D-NC); Hon. Jim McGovern (D-MA).

b. Original jurisdiction hearing on Tools to Combat Gun Trafficking and 
        Reduce Gun Violence in Our Communities

    On June 15th, 2022, the Subcommittee on Legislative and 
Budget Process held an original jurisdiction hearing entitled, 
``Tools to Combat Gun Trafficking and Reduce Gun Violence in 
Our Communities.''
    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

c. 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. Testimony was heard 
from one panel of three witnesses, Mr. Nathan Proctor, Senior 
Campaign Director, Right to Repair, U.S. PIRG (Public Interest 
Research Group); Mr. Sandeep Vaheesan, Legal Director, Open 
Markets Institute; Ms. Lauren Williams, Sr. Associate Director 
of National Affairs, New York Farm Bureau.
    Additional discussion was heard from the following Members 
of the Subcommittee, the Hon. Joe Morelle (D-NY), Chairman; 
Hon. Michael Burgess (R-TX), Ranking Member; Hon. Jim McGovern

                      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.
    Committee rule 5(a)(1)(B) assigns to the Subcommittee the 
general responsibility for measures or matters related to 
process and procedures of the House, relations between the two 
Houses of Congress, relations between Congress and the 
Judiciary, and internal operations of the House. 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.

on Expedited Procedures at the beginning of the 116th Congress. 
Similar to the other two subcommittees, the makeup of the

Norma J. Torres of California, Mark DeSaulnier of California, 
and James P. McGovern of Massachusetts. The Minority members of 
the Subcommittee included Ranking Member Michelle Fischbach of 
Arizona and Tom Cole of Oklahoma.
    Committee Rule 5(a)(1)(C) assigns the Subcommittee the 
general responsibility for measures or matters related to 
expedited procedures for floor consideration in law or in the 
Rules of the House of Representatives.
    The Subcommittee was created to examine the numerous 
expedited parliamentary procedures that have been included in 
measures or matters. The expedited procedures included in 
measures or matters can have several components including its 
introduction and referral, the priority the measure or matter 
enjoys for floor consideration, its consideration in committee, 
the process of debating and amending it on the floor, and the 
measure or matter's coordination with the Senate. Legislation 
is referred to the Subcommittee at the discretion of the Chair 
of the Committee on Rules.

                          VIII. 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

    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.
