Amends House rules to allow any party member to serve as vice-chair of a standing committee and to remove the separate budget for that position.
The bill amends the permanent rules of the House of Representatives to remove the political party restriction on the vice-chair of a standing committee. It also provides that the vice-chair of a committee does not receive a separate budget for that position. This change allows members from any political party to serve as vice-chair, breaking the previous restriction, and eliminates the separate budget previously allocated for the vice-chair role.
