Providing the Sergeant-at-Arms with the authority to fine Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner for failure to complete security screening for entrance to the House Chamber, and for other purposes.

House Resolution 73 authorizes the Sergeant-at-Arms to impose financial penalties on members of Congress who bypass security screenings when entering the House Chamber. Under this rule, a first-time violation results in a $5,000 fine, while any subsequent offenses incur a $10,000 fine, which is deducted directly from the member’s salary. This measure is designed to ensure uniform safety protocols for all individuals entering the legislative floor and provides a formal appeals process through the Committee on Ethics.
