HRES 974 United States House · 119th Congress

Providing for a committee to notify the President of the assembly of the House of Representatives.

HRES 974 is a procedural resolution that directs the House of Representatives to appoint a two-member committee (selected by the Speaker) to formally notify the President when the House has a quorum and is prepared to receive communications. This resolution streamlines a routine House procedure for convening, ensuring the President is informed of the House's readiness to engage with executive communications. It does not create new policy, affect constituents, or alter legislative authority - it solely addresses the mechanical process of House notification. The bill applies directly to House leadership and the President's office as part of standard congressional protocol.
