This bill, titled the "House Office of Legislative Counsel Modernization Act," aims to amend the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 to authorize the Legislative Counsel of the House of Representatives to designate more than one attorney within the Office of the Legislative Counsel as a Deputy Legislative Counsel. Its primary purpose is to allow for the appointment of multiple Deputy Legislative Counsels, rather than just one, to assist the Legislative Counsel and perform their functions when necessary. This change would likely improve the operational efficiency and succession planning within the Office of the Legislative Counsel by providing additional support and backup options. The bill directly impacts the internal structure and operations of the House Office of Legislative Counsel, which plays a crucial role in drafting and reviewing legislation for the House of Representatives.
