Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution establishes the procedural rules (a "rule") for considering H.R. 6039 on the House floor. It waives all points of order against the bill, allows one amendment in the nature of a substitute from the ranking minority member of the Committee on House Administration (the last such amendment submitted), provides one hour of equally divided debate, permits one motion to recommit, and suspends certain rules regarding same-day consideration. It also requires the Clerk to transmit the bill to the Senate within three calendar days of passage.
