House rules resolution
HR 1 is a procedural resolution adopting the official rules for the Montana House of Representatives. It establishes internal operating procedures by defining roles like the Speaker, majority/minority leaders, and whips, and outlining their duties - including presiding over sessions, managing legislative calendars, and ensuring orderly conduct. The rules also cover administrative functions, such as appointing staff (Chief Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms) and handling legislative documents. This resolution directly affects all House members, leadership, and staff by setting the framework for how legislative business is conducted.
