Congressional Modernization Competition Resolution of 2024

HRES 1512 establishes an annual competition for students in every congressional district to submit proposals aimed at improving the House of Representatives' effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency. The House Committee on House Administration will oversee the competition, requiring regulations that permit Members' offices to consult outside experts in government, political science, and civics education when selecting judges and evaluating submissions. This initiative directly engages students in civic participation while providing the House with fresh ideas for modernizing its operations. The resolution focuses on gathering practical recommendations through student-driven proposals, not on enacting new laws or policies.
