Scandals & crimes ledger
closed — H.Res.73 Security Screening Fine — Bypassing Capitol Metal Detector
On August 23, 2021, Huizenga bypassed the mandatory security screening metal detector outside the House chamber, entering the Republican cloakroom to drop off paperwork and leaving after three minutes despite being told by an officer to undergo screening. The Sergeant at Arms notified the Ethics Committee on August 25, 2021 and assessed a $5,000 first-offense fine under H.Res.73. Huizenga appealed the fine arguing he had complied with House rules, and the Ethics Committee voted to dismiss the fine on October 21, 2021.
