## Summary

**Streamline House consideration of H.J. Res. 143.** This rule would sharply limit debate and amendment opportunities while waiving many procedural objections to speed the measure through the House. - House members would face tight floor limits: debate is capped at one hour split between the majority leader and minority leader or their designees, and only one motion to recommit is allowed. - The ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules would be allowed to submit an amendment in the nature of a substitute printed at least one day before consideration; that substitute would be treated as adopted and if multiple are submitted only the last would count. - All points of order against the joint resolution and its provisions would be waived, reducing chances for procedural challenges by Members. - The rule would also exclude clause 1(c) of House Rule XIX and clause 8 of House Rule XX from applying to consideration, and it would require the Clerk to transmit a message to the Senate within three calendar days after passage.
