Its path through Congress
- Introduced
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 the bill H.R. 185, which aims to advance responsible policies in the House. It waives all points of order against the consideration of the bill and its provisions. An amendment submitted by the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules will be considered as adopted under specific conditions. The legislation allows for one hour of debate equally divided between the majority and minority leaders or their designees, followed by one motion to recommit. Specific procedural rules are set aside for this debate, and the Clerk must transmit the passed bill to the Senate within one calendar day.
