The resolution amends and readopts House Rule 1.1 of the Rules of Order of the House of Representatives in Louisiana, specifically regarding the use of the House Chamber. The updated rule stipulates that the Chamber is primarily reserved for the House of Representatives, its committees, and the Legislature of Louisiana, while also allowing usage by specific organizations such as the Democratic and Republican State Central Committees, youth political organizations, and various educational and civic groups.
Additionally, the resolution clarifies that when the House is adjourned or between legislative sessions, the Chamber may be utilized by recognized political party committees and nonprofit organizations for mock legislative sessions and educational programs, provided that such use is approved by the Speaker and adheres to a usage policy established by the Speaker. This amendment aims to regulate the use of the House Chamber while allowing for educational and civic engagement activities.
