Its path through Congress

  1. 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 H.R. 6039, which is titled to advance commonsense priorities. It establishes the rules for how the House will debate and vote on the bill. The resolution waives points of order against the consideration of the bill. It also allows for a specific type of amendment submitted by the ranking minority member of the Committee on House Administration. Finally, it sets limits on debate time and includes instructions for the Clerk regarding the transmission of the bill to the Senate.
