Key Points

  • This is a procedural resolution that sets the schedule and rules for how the House of Representatives will handle a bill called H.R. 7007. It acts as a guide for the upcoming meeting and does not change any laws on its own.
  • The resolution limits the total debate time to one hour. This time is divided equally between the majority and minority parties so that both sides can present their arguments before a vote is held.
  • It includes instructions for the Clerk of the House to send the bill to the Senate within three days if it passes. It also allows for one final attempt to change or delay the bill through a 'motion to recommit' before the final vote.
