BUDS Resolution

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Rules of the House of Representatives to permit bipartisan joint sponsorship of public bills and resolutions. Specifically, it allows two Members to serve as joint sponsors, provided that one Member belongs to the majority party and the other to the minority party. Under this new rule, both designated joint sponsors would be authorized to name cosponsors for the jointly sponsored legislation. Furthermore, it mandates that both joint sponsors must individually submit the required constitutional authority statement for the proposed bill or resolution, ensuring shared accountability and transparency.
