The resolution, introduced by Leo Wilson, proposes amendments to Rule 5, Section 3 of the permanent rules governing the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature. It specifically addresses the consequences for members who are absent without leave with the intent to obstruct the House's actions. The amended rule outlines various penalties that may be imposed on such members, including fines, payment of costs incurred by the sergeant-at-arms, reprimands, censure, removal of seniority based on cumulative years of service, and potential expulsion as per the Texas Constitution.

Additionally, the resolution introduces a new subsection (d-1), which stipulates that starting from the fourth day of unauthorized absence, a member will lose one year of seniority for each subsequent day of absence. This amendment aims to deter members from impeding legislative processes through unexcused absences and to maintain the integrity and functionality of the House.
