Passed House

Electing Members to the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library and the Joint Committee on Printing.

119th Congress Introduced Mar 5, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This resolution elects Members to two joint congressional committees. For the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, it elects Mr. Carey, Mr. Morelle, and Ms. Johnson of Texas to serve with the chair of the Committee on House Administration and the chair of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee. For the Joint Committee on Printing, it elects Mr. Morelle, Mr. Murphy, Ms. Sewell, and Mrs. Miller of Illinois to serve with the chair of the Committee on House Administration. The resolution is an internal organization measure that fills committee rosters rather than regulating the public.

Who Benefits and How

Mr. Carey, Mr. Morelle, and Ms. Johnson of Texas benefit from membership on the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library. Mr. Morelle, Mr. Murphy, Ms. Sewell, and Mrs. Miller of Illinois benefit from membership on the Joint Committee on Printing. The Joint Committee of Congress on the Library benefits because it receives House-side members for work involving congressional library and cultural oversight. The Joint Committee on Printing benefits because it receives members for printing and publication oversight. The Committee on House Administration benefits because the resolution coordinates joint-committee service with its chair.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The House Clerk must update official committee records. Joint committee staff must integrate the elected Members into notices, meetings, records, and oversight work. Members not elected to those joint committees lose the access and influence those seats provide. The Committee on House Administration must coordinate service with the newly named Members.
