HRES 521 United States House · 118th Congress

Censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of the 30th Congressional District of California.

HRES 521 is a formal resolution censuring Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA, 30th District) for conduct deemed "unbecoming" of a House member. The resolution alleges Schiff repeatedly made false claims about Trump-Russia collusion, including spreading Steele Dossier information and releasing a flawed FISA memo, and misled the public during impeachment proceedings. If passed, it would require Schiff to appear in the House chamber for a public reading of the censure resolution. The resolution also directs the House Ethics Committee to investigate Schiff's "falsehoods and misrepresentations." This is a symbolic procedural action, not a law changing policy or affecting constituents.

MINOR

This diff reflects the transition of HRES 521 from its introduced form to its engrossed form in the House. The changes are entirely procedural and formatting-related: the date was updated to June 21, 2023, the header was reformatted into standard legislative layout, sponsor names were removed, a clerk signature line was added, and spacing between Whereas clauses was adjusted. No substantive policy content was altered.

TECHNICAL

Date changed from June 16, 2023 to June 21, 2023 to reflect the engrossment date.

Sponsor list (Mrs. Luna and 11 co-sponsors) and the referral language ('referred to the Committee on Ethics') were removed from the engrossed version, as is standard when a bill moves past introduction.

Standard legislative formatting was applied: separate header lines for Congress number, session, resolution number, chamber, and date; blank lines between Whereas clauses; and a 'Cheryl L. Johnson, Clerk.' signature line at the end.
