Summary

AI Summary

This resolution mandates that each Member of the House of Representatives, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, participate in one ride-along with a local law enforcement officer in their respective congressional district during each term of Congress.

A "ride-along" is specifically defined as serving one shift in the passenger seat of a law enforcement vehicle to observe the officer's workday. The Committee on House Administration is tasked with promulgating regulations to implement this requirement, which applies starting from the One Hundred Eighteenth Congress and all succeeding Congresses.

Should a Member fail to satisfy this requirement by the specified deadline, the Committee on Ethics will publish their name on a readily available public list on its website. Furthermore, the Committee on Ethics will ensure that information regarding the Member's non-compliance is published in the Congressional Record.
