Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require employees of the House to be subject to criminal background checks conducted by the United States Capitol Police, and for other purposes.

This resolution proposes amendments to the Rules of the House of Representatives to implement new requirements for House employees. One key provision mandates that all employees of the House undergo a criminal background check conducted by the United States Capitol Police. These checks must be completed within 30 days of the start of a new Congress for existing staff or within 30 days of an employee beginning service, with the results kept confidential and disclosed only to the head of the employee's office. The Chief Administrative Officer is tasked with establishing necessary agreements with the Capitol Police to facilitate these checks, which will apply starting with the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. Additionally, the resolution introduces new reporting requirements concerning foreign interactions. House employees must file a report with the Clerk detailing any payments received from or contracts with a foreign government during the three-year period prior to their employment. Employees who are citizens or nationals of a foreign country are also required to disclose this status. These reports must be submitted within 30 days of starting service, or within 30 days of the resolution's adoption for current employees, and will be made publicly available on the Clerk's website to ensure transparency.
