Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution

This resolution, titled the "Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution," aims to amend the Rules of the House of Representatives to address potential conflicts of interest. Its primary purpose is to prohibit Members of the House, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners from serving on the boards of for-profit entities . The resolution achieves this by amending Rule XXIII of the House Rules. It redesignates existing clauses and inserts a new clause 19, which explicitly states that "A Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not serve on the board of directors of any for-profit entity." This change is intended to enhance public trust and ensure that legislative duties are performed without the appearance or reality of financial conflicts of interest.
