Evidence

Congress.gov records H.Res.6 as agreed to in the House on January 9, 2019. The CRS summary says it amended House rules by prohibiting Members, officers, and employees of the House from serving as an officer or director of a public company.

A same-term House rules package created a House-only ban on Members, officers, and employees serving as officers or directors of public companies. It did not cover Senators, all for-profit corporate boards, or spouses.

Section 9101 of H.R.1 would amend House Rule XXIII to state: A Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not serve on the board of directors of any for-profit entity.

The For the People Act contained a broader House-member board-service ban covering any for-profit entity, but the provision did not include spouses and applied to the House rather than all Members of Congress.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Haley M. Stevens [D-MI-11] as a cosponsor of H.R.1 on January 28, 2019.

Stevens took concrete legislative action in the same term by cosponsoring H.R.1, which included a House-member ban on serving on boards of for-profit entities.

Congress.gov lists H.R.1 as Passed House, with latest Senate action on March 14, 2019: read the second time and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar.

The same-term H.R.1 effort passed the House but did not become law, so it did not fulfill a federal ban covering Members of Congress and spouses.

Congress.gov records H.R.1 of the 117th Congress as Passed House on March 3, 2021, and received in the Senate on March 11, 2021. The CRS summary says it prohibited Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity.

A later-term version again advanced a House-only for-profit board ban, but it still did not become enacted federal law and did not cover spouses.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Stevens did not deliver the full promised federal ban: no enacted law barred all Members of Congress and their spouses from serving on or being officers of corporate boards. However, during her first term the House adopted H.Res.6, which amended House rules to bar House Members, officers, and employees from serving as officers or directors of public companies, and Stevens voted yes. She also cosponsored H.R.1, which included a broader House-member for-profit board-service ban, but that bill passed only the House and did not cover spouses. This warrants partial same-term credit, not full delivery.
