Summary of Bill HRES 293
Bill 119 HRES 293, also known as the "Providing for the announcement of pairs from a written list furnished to the Clerk, and for other purposes" bill, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a process for announcing pairs in Congress. Pairs are agreements between members of opposing parties to not vote on a particular piece of legislation, allowing them to be absent from the vote without affecting the outcome.
Under this bill, members of Congress would be required to provide a written list of pairs to the Clerk, who would then announce these pairs before a vote takes place. This would ensure transparency and accountability in the pairing process, as well as prevent any potential abuse of the system.
In addition to addressing the announcement of pairs, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the summary. Overall, Bill 119 HRES 293 aims to streamline the process of announcing pairs in Congress and promote fairness and integrity in the legislative process.
