SUMMARY 
 
Synopsis of House Resolution 1   
 
House Resolution 1 amends House Rule 9-5-5 to require that the names of each member voting 
yes, each member voting no, each excused member, and each member shown as absent be listed 
on each committee report.   
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS  
 
In planning for the 2025 legislative session, committee reports in both chambers were modified 
to include the information required in House Resolution 1. The expense has already been 
incurred but is unknown. Any expense to update House Rules could be absorbed in the operating 
budget for the House Chief Clerk’s office.  
 
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES 
 
The approval of House Resolution 1 will align with the current practices of identifying members 
voting yes, no, excused and absent.
