HRES1224-119

What This Bill Does

This House rule resolution controls floor consideration for a package of measures. It sends H.R. 7567, an agriculture and USDA program bill running through fiscal year 2031, to the Committee of the Whole with one hour of debate, waives points of order, treats Rules Committee Print 119-22 as the base text as modified by part A of the Rules Committee report, and limits later amendments to part B amendments or en bloc amendments. It also provides floor procedures for H.R. 2616 on parental consent before public schools change a minor's gender markers, pronouns, preferred name, or sex-based accommodations; S. Con. Res. 33 on the fiscal year 2026 congressional budget and levels through 2035; S. 1318 on American-Jewish servicemembers buried overseas under incorrect religious markers; and H.R. 1346 on the Clean Air Act ethanol Reid Vapor Pressure waiver. The resolution directs the Clerk to add H.R. 1919 text to the House amendment to S. 1318 and to add H.R. 1346 text to H.R. 7567 after H.R. 1346 is disposed of.

Who Benefits and How

House majority leadership benefits because the resolution schedules multiple priority measures and defines the amendment universe before floor debate. The House Agriculture Committee chair benefits from authority to manage H.R. 7567 debate and offer en bloc amendments printed in the Rules Committee report. Supporters of H.R. 7567, H.R. 2616, S. Con. Res. 33, S. 1318, and H.R. 1346 benefit because each measure receives a protected path to consideration, waiver of points of order, and a final vote structure. American-Jewish servicemember recognition advocates benefit procedurally because S. 1318 is set up for House passage with specified substitute text. Ethanol producers and year-round E15 supporters benefit procedurally because H.R. 1346 is given consideration and then can be merged into H.R. 7567 for engrossment.

Who Bears the Burden and How

House Members seeking amendments outside the Rules Committee report must operate under a closed or structured rule because unprinted amendments and division demands are barred. House minority leadership bears a procedural burden because debate time is capped and the previous question is ordered to final passage on each covered measure except for specified recommit or commit motions. The House Clerk must perform engrossment work, assign designations, conform cross-references and short titles, and make technical corrections. Opponents of the underlying bills bear a burden because points of order against consideration and against provisions are waived, narrowing procedural objections.
