Electing a Member to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 940 is a non-binding resolution that would elect a member of the House of Representatives to certain standing committees. Specifically, the resolution addresses committee assignments for the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. This type of resolution is a routine procedural matter used to fill committee vacancies or adjust committee membership as needed during a congressional session.

The resolution was introduced by Representative Jennifer A. Kiggans (R-VA) and has already passed the House. It now requires approval from the Senate before it can take effect. For everyday citizens, committee assignments determine which legislators will oversee specific policy areas, influencing how Congress addresses issues like national security, scientific research, and technological development.

Since this is a non-binding resolution focused on internal House operations, it would not directly change laws or create new government programs. However, the committee assignments it makes would affect which members shape legislation in critical areas affecting public safety and innovation. The resolution represents standard congressional housekeeping necessary to maintain functional committee structures.
