Announcing pairs from a written list
Sponsored by Anna Paulina Luna
What the bill does
This resolution changes how the House of Representatives announces pairs during votes. Pairs are when two members agree to cancel each other's votes if one is absent. The Clerk will now announce pairs from a written list before the vote result is announced. The list must be signed by the member and published in the Congressional Record.
The stakes
This affects how the public sees which members are absent and how their votes are paired. It makes the process more transparent by requiring a written, signed list.
