Amend HR 2 (Housekeeping Resolution) in SECTION 4.07 by
striking Subsection (e) (page 14, lines 8-19) and substituting the
following:
(e) A member [who is the chair of a standing or select
committee] may additionally exempt one employee of the individual
member and, if the member is a chair of a standing or select
committee, one employee of the standing or select committee the
member chairs [who is paid from the committee's operating account]
from the salary cap imposed by Subsection (d) of this section. Each
calendar year the member [chair] shall file with the Committee on
House Administration a statement designating the exempt
[committee] employee. During a calendar year after an exempt
employee has been designated, the member [chair] may exempt a
different employee from the salary cap only if the employee
previously designated as exempt for the calendar year is no longer
employed by the member or committee, as appropriate. The exempt
employee may not receive compensation from the operating account of
any other committee or [any] member.
