HCONRES 1 United States House · 119th Congress

Regarding consent to assemble outside the seat of government.

HCONRES 1 is a procedural resolution that allows the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader (or their designees) to direct congressional members to assemble outside Washington, D.C., after consulting with minority leaders, if they determine it serves the public interest. It establishes a specific process requiring joint notification to both chambers before holding sessions elsewhere during the 119th Congress. The resolution does not create new laws or alter policy but changes how Congress organizes its meetings. It directly affects congressional operations by providing a formal mechanism for relocating sessions outside the District of Columbia.
