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This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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 recent amendment to HR 1 clarified the rules regarding how a quorum is determined and approved in the House. Specifically, it added clear instructions for confirming the correctness of the previous day's proceedings before moving on to new business after a quorum is established. This change is important because it helps ensure that all members are adequately informed and that decisions made are fair and based on accurate records, ultimately enhancing the legislative process.
