A RESOLUTION

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives; and for other purposes.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the Rules of the House of Representatives, adopted on January 8, 2007, by House Resolution 8 as the "Rules, Ethics, and Decorum of the House of Representatives," are amended by revising Rules 7.3 and 7.4 as follows:

"7.3 During the period beginning thirty (30) minutes before the House convenes and ending upon adjournment, members of the news media are not authorized to be on the floor of the House. During this period members of the news media with proper credentials are only authorized to be in the South anteroom and the Media Gallery of the House of Representatives. During this period, reporters for print media and broadcast media may request that a member leave the floor for an interview in the South anteroom or in one of the halls adjacent to the House chamber. A request by a member of the media for a member to leave the floor for an interview shall be made through a House Page assigned to the Media Gallery for that purpose.

7.4 Still photographers and television camerapersons shall have access to the floor of the House of Representatives while the House is in session in the discretion of the presiding officer."
