Latest action (23 Jul 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
H.Res. 1454 would direct the House Committee on House Administration to revoke, and refuse to grant, official registration to any Congressional Member Organization (commonly called a caucus) or Congressional Staff Organization that is formed primarily or substantially on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin; that admits or excludes members based on those characteristics; or that organizes or advocates for the interests of one racial, ethnic, or national-origin group over others. The resolution states that such groups engage in discrimination and affect the dignity and integrity of House proceedings.
The measure would primarily affect Members of Congress and congressional staff who participate in or seek to form caucuses or staff organizations, particularly those historically organized around racial, ethnic, or national-origin identity. It would not create new law but would set a directive governing how the House Administration Committee registers and recognizes such groups internally.
As a House resolution, it addresses internal House operations rather than public law and would not require Senate action or presidential signature. It was introduced on July 23, 2026, by Rep. Nancy Mace and referred to the Committee on House Administration, which would need to act—such as holding a vote—for the resolution to take effect. No further action has occurred yet.
