Summary

AI Summary

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Rules of the House of Representatives, specifically targeting Clause 18(a) of rule XXIII. The primary objective is to expand the prohibition against sexual relationships involving Members, Delegates, or Resident Commissioners and House employees.

Currently, the existing rule limits this restriction to employees who work under the Member's direct supervision or are part of a committee on which the Member serves. The proposed amendment seeks to strike this limiting language, thereby extending the prohibition to cover any employee of the House, regardless of their direct reporting structure or committee affiliation. This change aims to establish a more comprehensive ethical standard for personal conduct among House members and staff.
