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 House of Representatives to consider several different legislative items. It addresses a joint resolution disapproving a rule by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection regarding overdraft lending at very large financial institutions. It also addresses a joint resolution disapproving a rule regarding the definition of larger participants in the market for digital consumer payment applications. Additionally, the resolution allows for the consideration of H.R. 1526, which aims to limit the authority of district courts to provide injunctive relief. Finally, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 22, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship for federal election registration.
