Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Creates a 13-member, time-limited commission to study options for expanding the size of the U.S. House of Representatives. The commission will evaluate methods (including Cube Root Law and Wyoming Rule), costs, logistics, historical examples, and effects on representation, and must deliver a report with proposals within two years.
Liberal emphasizes representation gains; conservatives emphasize cost and size of government.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commission statute that clearly defines its mission, enumerates study topics, and supplies standard authorities and timelines appropriate for a temporary federal commission.

Generally supportive of a commission that studies tradeoffs before major structural change.
Appreciates bipartisan appointment design and operational consultation, but worries about costs and practical implementation details.
Skeptical or opposed: views expansion as enlarging federal government, increasing costs, and possibly shifting political power.
May accept a study in principle but distrust outcomes and prefer maintaining current House size.
