Impact

The direct impact of HR6005 is primarily administrative, affecting how members of the House are organized in their seating during sessions. By affirming the previous seating arrangement, the resolution simplifies logistical considerations during debates and discussions, allowing members to know their designated places. This consistency is vital for operational efficiency within the House, ensuring that all members are aware of their locations in the chamber, which can enhance communication and procedural flow.

Summary

House Resolution No. 6005 addresses the seat assignments within the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas during the 2023 legislative session. The resolution mandates that members of the House occupy the same seats as previously assigned under House Resolution No. 6002, with exceptions for two members—Representative Helgerson, who will occupy seat 76, and Representative Weigel, who will occupy seat 87. This resolution highlights the legislative body's efforts to maintain order and continuity in seating arrangements during the ongoing session.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding the resolution appears to be positive, as it reflects a straightforward administrative decision rather than a controversial piece of legislation. House resolutions concerning seating are typically non-controversial and tend to receive bipartisan support. The affirmation of existing seating arrangements also indicates a level of stability and continuity within the legislative process, which is usually welcomed by representatives and their constituents.

Contention

Since HR6005 pertains to seating assignments, there is minimal contention associated with it. The changes involve only two specified exceptions to the original seat allocations established by a prior resolution, which indicates a minor adjustment rather than a broad policy shift. The absence of significant debate implies that there are no major oppositional viewpoints regarding these seat assignments, suggesting consensus on the need for consistent seating in the legislative setting.
