Sunlight Foundation: House Introduces Bill to Enact 72 Hour Rule Mandating Online Publication of Legislation Before Debate

Reps. Baird and Culberson introduced a resolution (H. Res. 554) to require the U.S. House of Representatives to post online all non-emergency legislation 72 hours before debate begins. This resolution will create more transparency of the legislative process by giving lawmakers the time to debate bills with full knowledge and consideration of their implications, while giving citizens time to read legislation and voice their concerns to their congressional delegation. Sunlight posted a copy of the resolution on its site.
