Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H. Res. 39 is a House resolution that formalizes the ranking order of a Member on a standing committee. Specifically, it designates Ms. Maloy to be ranked on the Committee on Appropriations, placing her immediately after Mr. Strong. This is a procedural housekeeping measure that expresses the official order of seniority/priority within that committee. It does not by itself change policy, funding decisions, or the committee’s jurisdiction, but it can influence future committee assignments, seating, or subcommittee placement that follow from the rank order.
