Congress House Reform Details Aim at Open Proceedings
The measure outlines how committees will operate with public votes and possible broadcasts, seeking to curb concealed actions. It requires open committee meetings, a seven day filing for reports, and broadcasts if a majority agrees, while preserving chairmen's control and allowing rules to bar proxy voting unless explicitly permitted. The impact hinges on enforcement by committee members and chairmen, with strong leaders resisting shifts in power.
