This bill died with 2019-2020 Session. It reached “Passed House” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment to House Resolution 16 removed a requirement for "dignified dress for female members" from the House rules. This change is significant because it promotes equality by ensuring that dress codes do not impose specific standards based on gender, thereby allowing all members to dress in a way that they feel comfortable while still respecting the formal nature of legislative sessions.
