H.Res. 1034 is a procedural rule governing how the House of Representatives handles "questions of privilege" — resolutions that address the conduct of House members. The resolution raises the bar for bringing such resolutions to the floor by requiring that either the Majority or Minority Leader must have at least one-fifth of all House members as cosponsors before introducing the resolution, or that a Member announcing their intention to offer such a resolution must maintain this level of support for at least one full legislative day. The rule applies for the remainder of the 119th Congress and does not affect certain other types of privilege resolutions already covered under existing House rules. This change essentially makes it harder for individual members to quickly bring conduct-related resolutions to a floor vote by requiring broader support from colleagues first. The resolution was introduced by Representative Johnson of South Dakota and several colleagues on February 3, 2026, and was referred to the House Rules Committee.
