Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to modify the period before the date of any primary election or general election during which a mass mailing is not frankable by a Member of the House who is a candidate in such election, and for other purposes.

H.Res. 731 updates the rules governing the "franking privilege," which allows Members of Congress to send mail to their constituents using taxpayer funds instead of postage stamps. This resolution extends the "blackout period" during which House members are prohibited from sending mass mailings before an election, changing the window from 45 days to 60 days before a primary or general election. By increasing this timeframe, the measure aims to prevent the use of official government resources for mailings that could be perceived as campaign material close to an election.
