House committee structure for education matters would change under this resolution, which eliminates the single House Education standing committee and replaces it with two separate committees: one focused on Higher Education and another focused on Public Education. This means bills dealing with colleges and universities would be reviewed by a different committee than bills dealing with K-12 schools, rather than both going through one combined committee. The resolution also renumbers the remaining list of House standing committees to reflect this change, with no other substantive effect on legislative rules. If passed, this change would take effect on May 6, 2026.
