House Resolution 11 Summary

• Amends Rule 45 to rename the "Committee on Ethics" to the "Committee on Ethics and House Policy" and clarifies its composition of five members: three from the majority party and two from the minority party.

• Requires that Ethics and House Policy Committee members must have previously served at least one full term in the House and establishes a selection process where each party also selects two committee alternates.

• Specifies that committee alternates sit and vote on House policy matters but serve only to fill vacancies when the committee addresses ethics violations.

• Modifies Rule 76 to establish the standing Committee on Ethics and House Policy as a formal committee with the duty to report and recommend current and proposed policies governing House members to the House for formal affirmation.

• Clarifies disqualification procedures when ethics complaints involve committee members themselves, with vacancies filled by alternates according to party leadership selection.
