HRES 31119th CongressIntroduced

Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

Introduced: Jan 13, 2025
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This is a House resolution that publicly designates (elects) specific Members of the House to four standing committees for the 119th Congress: Armed Services, Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, and Veterans' Affairs. The text lists the individual Members chosen for each committee, effectively forming the official committee rosters. It is a routine, procedural step used to organize committee assignments and does not enact new policy or create new authority beyond establishing who sits on these committees. The document shows the House’s formal action on January 13, 2025, and is labeled as “Engrossed in House,” meaning it has completed the necessary House processing to become a final, official record. Sponsor information is not provided in the text you supplied; the resolution itself is the mechanism for electing committee members and reflects the House’s internal organizational process.

Key Points

  • 1The resolution elects specific named Members to four standing committees: Armed Services, Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, and Veterans' Affairs.
  • 2The Armed Services roster includes a large slate of Members from multiple states (examples include Mr. Wilson, Ms. Stefanik, Mr. DesJarlais, Ms. Mace, Mr. Van Orden, among others).
  • 3The Judiciary roster includes Members such as Mr. Issa, Mr. Biggs, Mr. McClintock, Ms. Hageman, Ms. Lee (FL), and Mr. Schmidt, among others.
  • 4The Oversight and Government Reform roster includes Members such as Mr. Jordan, Mr. Turner (OH), Ms. Foxx, Mr. Gosar, Ms. Mace, Ms. Boebert, and Ms. Greene, among others.
  • 5The Veterans' Affairs roster includes Members like Mrs. Radewagen, Mr. Bergman, Ms. Mace, Mrs. Miller-Meeks, and Mr. Luttrell, among others.
  • 6This is a standard organizational action and does not change committee jurisdictions or House policy; it simply fixes who will serve on these committees.

Impact Areas

Primary group/area affected: U.S. House Members who are assigned to the four committees; their staff and the committees’ future agendas, hearings, and markups.Secondary group/area affected: The broader legislative process and timing of policy discussions in areas related to defense/armed services, judiciary matters, congressional oversight, and veterans’ issues.Additional impacts: Committee members influence what legislation is brought to the floor, what hearings are held, and how investigations or oversight activities are prioritized; this resolution solidifies the membership that will shape those activities for the near term. It is a housekeeping procedure typical at the start of a new Congress or after reorganizations.
