This chapter does not change two things about the House of Representatives. It does not affect any existing authority to create House positions outside this chapter's coverage. It also does not affect any existing authority to appoint people to House positions, whether or not those positions fall under this chapter.

This section makes clear that this chapter does not take away or change two existing powers connected to the House of Representatives: (1) any authority to create job positions under the House of Representatives that are not covered by this chapter; or (2) any authority to appoint people to House of Representatives positions — this stays true whether or not those particular positions fall within this chapter's coverage.
