Amends House rules to restrict recorded votes after 11:00 p.m. unless exigent circumstances exist.
The bill, titled "Protecting Deliberative Process in the House Resolution," proposes an amendment to the Rules of the House of Representatives. It restricts the ability to order a recorded vote on any question put before the House after 11:00 p.m. unless an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the Members present, with a quorum, determines that exigent circumstances exist. This change aims to protect the deliberative process by limiting late-night recorded votes.
