Very likely to pass

This is a routine rule passed at the start of every new Congress to ensure the government can function during an emergency.

This resolution gives top leaders in the House and Senate the power to change where Congress meets. They can pick a location outside of Washington, D.C. if they decide it is necessary for the public interest.
The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader must consult with the minority party leaders before making this change. This ensures that leaders from both political parties are part of the conversation.
This is a standard safety rule passed at the start of a new Congress. It is meant to make sure the government can still pass laws and do its job if a crisis makes it impossible to meet in the nation's capital.
