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.

  • Ranking minority member of the Committee on House Administration: Guaranteed opportunity to offer one substitute amendment.

Who Bears the Burden and How

  • Minority party members (generally): Limited ability to amend or delay the bill, as all points of order are waived and only one substitute amendment is allowed.
