Adopting the Rules of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress, and for other purposes.

This resolution establishes rules for the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress.

The resolution adopts the rules from the 118th Congress with specified changes, including

• providing that the Speaker may only entertain a motion to suspend the rules on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays;

• prohibiting waiver (by rule or by order) of the germaneness rule (which requires amendments to be of the same subject matter as the measure under consideration); and

Additional changes include

• authorizing the use of electronic voting within a committee;

• authorizing remote appearances by non-executive branch witnesses and their counsel in committee proceedings;
