Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 300 is a non-binding resolution that would elect members of the House of Representatives to fill positions on three standing committees. The three committees affected are the House Committee on Education and Workforce, the House Committee on Small Business, and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. These committees handle important legislative work in their respective areas, including education policy, support for small businesses, and infrastructure projects.

Standing committees are essential to how Congress operates. They review bills, hold hearings, and develop legislation within their areas of responsibility. When vacancies occur on these committees, the House uses resolutions like this one to formally elect new members to fill those positions. The resolution was introduced by Representative Darrell Issa on April 8, 2025.

The resolution has already passed the House and now moves to the Senate for consideration. If the Senate approves it, the elected members would take their committee seats and participate in the legislative process on education, small business, and infrastructure matters. For everyday citizens, having these committees fully staffed ensures that important policy areas receive proper legislative attention and oversight.
