Summary of House Resolution 164

Overview

House Resolution 164 is a House resolution introduced on February 25, 2025 that provides for the consideration of a separate resolution (H. Res. 23) permitting parental remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives. The resolution was subsequently laid on the table pursuant to the provisions of H. Res. 294.

Key Provisions

  • Allows for consideration of H. Res. 23, which would establish a system of parental remote voting by proxy in the House
  • Outlines the rules and procedures for how this parental remote voting system would function
  • Likely to impact House voting processes and member participation, particularly for parents of young children

Procedural Aspects

  • H. Res. 164 was introduced on February 25, 2025 and laid on the table pursuant to H. Res. 294 at an unspecified later date
  • As a House resolution, it does not require the approval of the Senate or the President to take effect
  • The resolution provides for the consideration of another resolution (H. Res. 23), rather than enacting changes directly

Potential Impact

  • If ultimately approved, H. Res. 23 would establish a system allowing House members who are parents to vote remotely by proxy
  • This could increase participation and representation of parents, particularly those with young children, in House voting
  • However, the resolution was ultimately laid on the table, indicating it did not advance further in the legislative process

Overall, H. Res. 164 was an attempt to pave the way for a system of parental remote voting in the House of Representatives, but it did not ultimately proceed past the consideration stage.
