Summary of HRES 39 — Ranking a Member on a Standing Committee

Overview

House Resolution 39 is a procedural measure that establishes the ranking of a named member on a standing committee within the House of Representatives. The engrossed text states: “That the following named Member be, and is hereby, ranked on the following standing committee of the House of Representatives: Ms. Maloy (to rank immediately after Mr. Strong).” The bill is a resolution, not a statute or appropriation, and its primary effect is to determine the ordering of a member on a committee roster.

  • Bill Type: Resolution (procedural)
  • Introduced: January 14, 2025
  • Primary Sponsor: Mike Flood
  • Status: Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection; On agreeing to the resolution, Agreed to without objection. Considered as privileged matter and submitted in the House
  • Version: Engrossed in House text specifies Ms. Maloy’s ranking immediately after Mr. Strong

What the bill would do

  • Designate the ranking position of a named member (Ms. Maloy) on a specified standing committee, placing her immediately after another member (Mr. Strong) in the committee’s ranking order.
  • This is a formal adjustment to committee rosters/order rather than a policy or funding measure.

Key provisions

  • The resolution names Ms. Maloy for a precise place in the committee’s ranking sequence (immediately after Mr. Strong).
  • The specific standing committee is referenced as “the following standing committee” in the text provided, but the committee name is not included in the excerpt. If the committee name is identified in the full text, it would show the exact roster position being modified for that committee.

Who is affected

  • Primary: Ms. Maloy, whose ranking on the designated standing committee is set.
  • Other individuals: Mr. Strong, as the reference point for Maloy’s ranking.
  • The affected group overall is the committee’s membership roster and any procedural outcomes tied to ranking (e.g., assignments to subcommittees, seating, or order-related duties as defined by House rules).

Procedural history and timeline

Impact and considerations

  • Fiscal impact: Likely none or negligible, as this is a housekeeping/resolution measure about committee ranking rather than a policy, program, or funding provision.
  • Substantive policy effect: None directly; the measure does not create, modify, or repeal law or policy beyond the ordering of a member within a committee.
  • Practical effect: Updates to the committee roster that could influence future committee work, subcommittee assignments, or leadership considerations insofar as ranking affects formal roles under House rules.

Notes

  • If the specific committee name is provided in the full text, the summary can be updated to indicate the exact committee and confirm the scope of the ranking adjustment.
