Each Member of the House of Representatives must take one ride-along during each term. A "ride-along" is defined as serving one shift in the passenger seat of a local law enforcement vehicle to observe the officer's work day in the Member's congressional district. The Committee on House Administration will write regulations to carry out the requirement. If a Member does not complete a ride-along, the Committee on Ethics will (1) publish the Member's name on a public list on its website and (2) publish information about the failure in the Congressional Record. The rule applies beginning with the One Hundred Eighteenth Congress. The bill text also says that a Delegate or the Resident Commissioner is included among Members.
If you live in a congressional district, your Representative will be required to participate in one local law enforcement ride-along each term. The exact rules, timing, and procedures for those ride-alongs will be set by the House Committee on House Administration.
No publicly available information on costs or funding is included in the bill text. The bill directs a House committee to create regulations but does not state any budget or expense figures.
