BRIDGE to Congress Resolution

This resolution proposes to amend existing House rules to remove a specific limitation on remote witness appearances during committee proceedings. Currently, witnesses are permitted to testify remotely solely at the discretion of the committee chair. By striking language from Section 3(i)(1) of House Resolution 5, the resolution would eliminate the requirement for the chair's explicit approval for remote testimony. This aims to broaden access and flexibility for individuals to provide valuable input to House committees, fostering more diverse participation in the legislative process.
