H.R. 7101 — No Delay in Representation Act

This section requires that an individual elected to the House of Representatives in a special election be provided an opportunity to take the oath of office and be seated as a sworn Member within five legislative days after certification of the election results, notwithstanding other laws or House rules. If the individual declines during that period, the Speaker administers the oath on a date jointly agreed by the individual and the Speaker. For these purposes, legislative day includes any day the House is in session, including pro forma sessions.
