Adopted

Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
Providing for consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 1) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.
H.Res. 566 · House resolution Congress
A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Adopted
The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.
Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Adopted by the House 219–213
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 addresses the process for considering a specific bill, H.R. 1. It allows the House to take the bill from the Speaker's table. The resolution is intended to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. It further allows the House to consider a motion to concur with the Senate amendment. This motion is set to be debated for one hour.
