House Resolution No. 2, proposed by Representatives Steven Smith and Simpson, mandates that all activities and proceedings of the House of Representatives sessions be recorded via the public address system. This resolution is aimed at ensuring that there is an accurate and verifiable record of the actions taken during the sessions.
The resolution further stipulates that these recordings are to be utilized by the Clerk to verify and amend the Permanent Journal as necessary. The Permanent Journal, once prepared by the Clerk and subsequently reviewed and corrected by the House if needed, is designated as the official record of the House of Representatives.
