## Transcript

It came to my attention that there was an issue about dress code. I'll be honest, this is not something that was covered in my new speakership orientation ceremony. The sergeant- at- arms was simply enforcing the same interpretation of the rules as under my predecessors. This is nothing new, and certainly not something that I devised. At the same time, that doesn't mean that enforcement couldn't stand to be a bit modernized. So that is why we'll be working with the Sergeant of Arms to ensure the enforcement of appropriate business attire is updated. Decorum is important. Especially for this institution.

And a dress code in the chamber and the lobby makes sense. We also don't need to bar otherwise accepted contemporary business attire. So look for a change on that soon.
