BUDS Resolution

This measure would let two House members officially co-sponsor the same bill or resolution, as long as one is from the majority party and the other is from the minority party. The goal is to show bipartisan support right from the start of a proposal .

For everyday people, this could make it clearer which ideas already have backing from both sides. It may also encourage more cooperation on issues that affect communities, like schools, housing, and public safety, because proposals can launch with partners from both parties .

• Who is affected: Members of the House; the public indirectly through clearer bipartisan signals .
• What changes: Two members, one from each party, can be joint sponsors of the same measure .
