The House will meet in Session on
Please remember that Representatives Hall is not to be used for any purpose, whether legislative or non-legislative, without the express permission of the Speaker.
You are reminded that material is not to be placed in members' mailboxes in the anteroom behind the Chamber unless and until it has been approved for such distribution by the House Chief of Staff. Also, material is not to be distributed by members in Representatives Hall while the House is in Session.
Members are requested to review House Rules 9 through 16, 24 and 27 with regard to decorum. As the election draws near, civility in general is obviously becoming strained, but even for those who are not well-grounded in acceptable standards of behavior and discourse, these rules establish a minimum level of expected conduct while the House is in Session In particular, we need to be attentive to the last sentence of Rule 14, which states, "[W]hile a member is speaking, no one shall pass between that member and the other members of the House, nor shall anyone engage in private conversation."
