Fixing the daily hour of meeting of the First Session of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
Summary
H.Res. 6 is a procedural resolution that would establish the daily meeting schedule for the House of Representatives during the 119th Congress. The resolution specifies different start times depending on the day of the week: Mondays would begin at 2:00 p.m., Tuesdays at noon (or 2:00 p.m. if no legislative business occurred on Monday), Wednesdays and Thursdays at noon, and all other days at 9:00 a.m. These times would apply unless the House votes to order otherwise.
This type of resolution is a routine procedural matter that Congress addresses at the beginning of each new session. It establishes the framework for when daily legislative business would commence, affecting the schedules of members, staff, and citizens who wish to observe or participate in House proceedings.
The resolution has passed the House and now requires approval from the Senate before it would take effect. While this may seem like a technical detail, the meeting times can have practical implications for scheduling legislative activities, committee meetings, and other congressional business throughout the session.
