Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to exclude employees of the offices of Members who serve on certain committees of the House from the allotment of the number of employees of the office who may hold security clearances processed by the Office of House Security if such employees are members of the armed forces who hold a security clearance issued by the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.

This resolution changes House rules about how many staff members in certain congressional offices can have security clearances. Currently, there's a limit on how many employees in a Member's office can hold security clearances from the House. Under this change, military personnel who already have Defense Department security clearances wouldn't count toward that limit. This exception only applies to staff working for Members who serve on the Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, or Intelligence committees, or certain Appropriations subcommittees.
