Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution sets the floor rule for considering H.R. 5408, a bill to accelerate workplace time-to-contract under the National Labor Relations Act. It brings H.R. 5408 directly to the House floor, waives points of order against consideration and provisions of the bill, treats the bill as read, orders the previous question through final passage, allows one hour of debate split between Education and Workforce Committee leaders, and preserves one motion to recommit.
Who Benefits and How
Supporters of H.R. 5408 benefit because the rule removes procedural barriers and creates a controlled route to final House passage. Workers seeking first-contract timing changes, labor unions, and employers affected by first-contract bargaining rules could benefit or be affected indirectly if the underlying bill passes under this rule.
Who Bears the Burden and How
House members opposing H.R. 5408 bear a procedural burden because the rule waives points of order and limits amendment opportunities. The Clerk of the House must transmit the passed bill to the Senate within three calendar days if the House passes H.R. 5408.
