Relative to the Standing Rules of the Assembly for the 2025–26 Regular Session.
HR 4 is a procedural resolution that establishes the operating rules for the California Assembly during the 2025-26 legislative session. It sets key mechanics like requiring 41 members (a quorum) to conduct business, defining officer roles (e.g., Speaker, Majority Leader), and creating 32 standing committees (e.g., Education, Budget, Health). The resolution directly affects Assembly members, staff, and committee operations by governing meeting schedules, rule adoption, and public transparency. It does not change policy but outlines how the Assembly organizes its work, with all provisions subject to amendment only by a majority vote of members.
