This resolution establishes a mandatory program for certain Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives to complete training in counterintelligence and classified information protection during each Congress. The Committee on House Administration is tasked with issuing regulations for this program, which will be administered by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House. The training requirement applies to Members who access classified information and to officers or employees who hold a security clearance and access classified information. This includes individuals serving as fellows or detailees, though an exception exists for those who complete the training during new Member orientation programs. Individuals must complete the training and file a certificate of completion within 90 days of the program's certification or their start date in the House, with provisions for alternative deadlines in specific circumstances. Non-compliance carries significant penalties: Members will be denied access to classified information until training is completed, while officers and employees will be denied access for 180 days after completing the training.
