Referred to the House Committee on Rules.
The resolution bars the House Chair from entertaining privileged floor resolutions that address the conduct of a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner during the remainder of the 119th Congress unless the resolution has at least one-fifth of the House membership as cosponsors.
It also requires that an announced intention to offer such a resolution must retain that one-fifth cosponsorship for at least one legislative day, and it dispenses with oral announcements of the form of such resolutions.
The text excludes resolutions covered by clause 2(a)(3) of House Rule IX.
As a short, internal House resolution it is relatively likely to pass the House if it has majority leadership backing; it does not require Senate or Presidential approval.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a focused procedural resolution that clearly and specifically imposes a short‑term restriction on the Chair entertaining certain privileged resolutions about Member conduct by establishing a one‑fifth cosponsorship threshold and a one‑legislative‑day maintenance requirement. It integrates directly with House Rule IX and assigns the Chair the implementing role.

Likely skeptical or opposed.
They would view the high cosponsor threshold as a substantial barrier to raising urgent accountability questions about member conduct on the floor, possibly insulating misconduct from expedited consideration.
Mixed but mildly favorable if paired with alternative accountability channels.
Sees procedural merit in limiting abuse of privileged motions, while wanting safeguards so serious misconduct still gets timely attention.
Generally supportive.
Views the measure as a reasonable guard against partisan or performative privileged resolutions that disrupt House business and are used as political tools.
