Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H. Res. 44 is a House of Representatives resolution that, upon adoption, names and confirms the members who are elected to the House’s standing committees for the term. Specifically, it assigns Members to four standing committees: Agriculture; Foreign Affairs; Natural Resources; and Science, Space, and Technology. The resolution lists the individual Members for each committee. It is a procedural housekeeping measure—no substantive policy changes are enacted, but it determines who will serve on these key committees and, therefore, who will oversee legislation and conduct oversight in these areas.
