No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Plain-English Summary

The House of Representatives would be allowed to have official photographs taken during active legislative sessions on a date chosen by the Speaker, rather than only during breaks or outside of session time. This change would make it easier to capture official photos of the full chamber while members are present and conducting business. The measure has already passed the House.
