House Office of Legislative Counsel Modernization Act

HR 9487, the House Office of Legislative Counsel Modernization Act, allows the House Legislative Counsel to appoint multiple attorneys as Deputy Legislative Counsel instead of just one. This change streamlines internal staffing for the Office of Legislative Counsel, which drafts bills and provides legal advice to the House. The bill requires the Legislative Counsel to formally notify the Speaker and Minority Leader if multiple deputies are appointed, specifying who will perform the Legislative Counsel's duties. It directly affects the House's internal operations but does not change legislative policy or impact constituents.
