What this bill does
H.Res. 1466 would amend the House Code of Official Conduct (Rule XXIII) to add a new provision stating that a Member of the House, a Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner may not cohabitate with any employee of the House of Representatives. The resolution includes an exception for spouses, so married couples would not be affected by the prohibition. The measure would also renumber an existing clause in the rule to accommodate the new provision, but it does not make any other changes to House rules.
The resolution would primarily affect Members of the House, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner, along with individuals employed by the House, since it restricts a personal living arrangement between the two groups unless they are married. It does not appear to apply to Senators, congressional staff outside the House, or private citizens unconnected to House employment.
The resolution was introduced on July 30, 2026, by Rep. Nancy Mace and referred to the House Committee on Ethics, where it currently awaits further action. As a simple resolution affecting only the internal rules of the House, it would not require Senate approval or the President’s signature; it would take effect only if approved by a vote of the full House of Representatives. At this stage, no committee action, hearings, or floor votes have occurred.
