ID HR006

The public may use audio or video recording devices or nonflash photography to record House floor or committee proceedings with presiding officer consent.

The presiding officer must notify all present when authorized recording occurs, provided it does not interfere with or disturb proceedings; the presiding officer determines whether interference exists.

House floor recordings must originate from the gallery and committee recordings from or behind public seating areas, unless the presiding officer allows otherwise.

Accredited media may sit, stand, move unobstructively, and use tripods or monopods to record proceedings in an orderly manner from behind the podium and presenter area.

The presiding officer may set additional limitations on recording as necessary to preserve the decorum of House business.
