A resolution to authorize representation by the Senate Legal Counsel in the case of Dr. Ralph de la Torre v. Bernard Sanders, et al.

This resolution authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent specific senators in a federal lawsuit. It covers Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, Ranking Member Bill Cassidy, and 18 other members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, who are named as defendants in Dr. Ralph de la Torre v. Bernard Sanders, et al. (Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-02776-TNM). The resolution cites the Ethics in Government Act, allowing the Senate to direct its counsel to defend members in civil cases related to their official duties. This is a procedural measure, not a policy change, solely addressing legal representation for the named officials.
