Amend HR 4 (adopting the rules of the house) in Rule 5 by inserting the following new section:

"Sec. 12A. ADMITTANCE TO BACK HALL. During the consideration of any calendar, the sergeant-at-arms shall not admit any person who is required to register under Chapter 305, Government Code, to the hallways behind the hall of the house of representatives or behind the house gallery, or to the rooms adjacent to those hallways. This section does not prohibit admittance of those persons to:

(1) the speaker's apartment or the individual offices of the speaker and the speaker's staff;

(2) the back hall immediately behind the house gallery when that area is open to the public; or

(3) an area to which the person is otherwise denied admittance by this section if admittance is only for the purpose of traveling to or from an elevator."
