A Resolution amending the General Operating Rules of the House of Representatives, providing for member incapacity inquiries.

This bill establishes a new procedure for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to investigate whether a member is unable to perform their duties due to physical, mental, or substance-related impairments. It creates a special subcommittee composed of top party leaders to review confidential requests filed by opposing party floor leaders and to conduct inquiries that may include gathering evidence, issuing subpoenas, and administering oaths. If the subcommittee determines a member is incapacitated, it can recommend limiting their privileges, suspending them, or expelling them from the House, while also allowing for potential deferral if the member enters a treatment program. The process is designed to be confidential, and the subcommittee's findings and recommendations are reported to the full House for final action.
