Summary
What This Bill Does
H.Res.916 is a House Rules Committee resolution that sets the procedural rules for floor debate on six separate bills. It establishes how much time will be allocated for debate, which amendments are allowed, and how votes will proceed. The resolution packages together bills on student athlete name/image/likeness rights, Chinese government influence in K-12 schools, and small business regulatory relief.
Who Benefits and How
Small business owners would benefit if the underlying bills pass, as H.R. 2965 aims to eliminate net new regulatory costs and H.R. 4305 creates a hotline to report burdensome rules. Student athletes would gain from H.R. 4312's protections for their name, image, and likeness rights. Parents seeking transparency about foreign influence in their children's schools would benefit from disclosure requirements in H.R. 1049.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Elementary and secondary schools that currently have funding relationships with the Chinese government would face restrictions under H.R. 1005, H.R. 1049, and H.R. 1069. Federal regulatory agencies would face new constraints on issuing rules affecting small businesses. The SBA Office of Advocacy would take on new responsibilities to operate the Red Tape Hotline.
Key Provisions
- Waives points of order against all six bills, streamlining floor consideration
- Limits debate on each bill to one hour, divided between majority and minority
- Allows only one motion to recommit per bill, restricting amendment opportunities
- Adopts committee-recommended amendments automatically for each bill
- Covers diverse policy areas: collegiate athletics, education policy toward China, and small business regulation
