Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 9586, which is described as a bill to deliver priority legislation. It directs the House to proceed to the consideration of the bill immediately upon the adoption of the resolution. The resolution waives all points of order against the consideration of the bill. It also establishes specific rules for considering a substitute amendment submitted by the ranking minority member. Additionally, it sets rules for debate and limits the number of motions allowed.

    Does this make what the government does easier for the public to see?

    The resolution waives all points of order against the bill's provisions, which reduces procedural transparency and oversight.
