HRES 802 United States House · 119th Congress

Requiring the House of Representatives to convene and hold recorded quorum calls during a Government shutdown, and for other purposes.

This resolution requires the House of Representatives to hold daily meetings and recorded attendance checks during government shutdowns. Members must electronically confirm their presence each day via a "quorum call," with fines of $500 for a first offense and $2,500 for repeat failures. Fines cannot be paid using campaign or official funds, and the rules apply to all House members, including delegates and the Resident Commissioner. The bill aims to ensure continuous House operations during shutdowns but does not alter the cause or duration of shutdowns.
