house 01/28/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing the Legislative Proxy and Absence Accommodation Resolution to allow Members of Congress to vote by proxy and attend committee proceedings remotely during personal emergencies, such as illness, family deaths, jury service, or military obligations. This will ensure that legislators can fulfill their duties while managing unforeseen personal circumstances, maintaining the legislative process's efficiency and responsiveness.
