House Resolution No. 2, introduced by Representatives Steven Smith and Simpson, mandates that all actions taken during sessions of the House of Representatives be recorded using the public address system. This recording will serve as a tool for the Clerk to verify and amend the Permanent Journal, which is the official record of the House.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of accurate documentation of House proceedings, ensuring that the Permanent Journal reflects any necessary corrections made by the House. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the legislative process.
