This resolution would change House rules to prevent recorded votes from taking place after 11:00 p.m. on days when the House is in session. The only exception would be if at least three-fourths of voting members present agree that urgent circumstances justify holding a vote past that hour. The resolution applies to all recorded votes conducted under the House's standard voting procedures. The change is intended to protect the deliberative process by ensuring members have adequate time to consider legislation before voting. No funding is involved, and the rule would take effect immediately upon passage.
