Caption

Requests the House clerk and sergeant at arms to work collaboratively to implement procedures for the inspection of deliveries made to members on the House Floor and to submit recommendations relative to House Rules prior to the 2011 R.S.

Impact

If adopted, HR71 would significantly change how communications and deliveries to members of the House are handled. By instituting inspection protocols, the House aims to enhance security and mitigate risks associated with potentially harmful or inappropriate items. The policies would not only ensure safety but would also provide a more structured process for handling constituent correspondence, which could reassure members about the documents they receive.

Summary

House Resolution No. 71, introduced by Representative Patricia Smith, requests the House clerk and sergeant at arms to collaboratively develop and implement procedures for inspecting deliveries made to members on the House Floor. This initiative aims to ensure the safety of legislators by confirming the sender's identity and the appropriateness of the contents before they are received. The resolution emphasizes a systematic approach to manage the various forms of deliveries, including mail and packages, that members receive daily.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding HR71 appears to be pragmatic, focusing on improving legislative procedures and member safety. Given the potential benefits of increased security, the measure is likely to receive support from those who prioritize member safety and effective communication with constituents. However, it could also lead to concerns over additional bureaucracy or delays in how quickly members can receive messages from their constituents.

Contention

Despite its safety-focused intentions, the resolution may face scrutiny regarding the feasibility of its implementation. Concerns may arise about the efficiency of inspections and the potential for delays in communications. Members may debate the balance between ensuring safety and maintaining smooth operations within the House, especially regarding urgent communications that constituents or lobbyists may need to send.
