Summary

Sets House floor rules to fast-track consideration of four specific measures and limit routine procedural challenges. It would shorten debate windows, waive many points of order, and control how each listed bill is read and amended on the floor.

Show full summary
  • Members of the House: Debate on each targeted measure would be limited to 1 hour, split equally between the committee chair and the ranking minority member, and each measure would allow one motion to commit or recommit.
  • Committees and sponsors: The resolution waives points of order against consideration and against provisions in the bills and treats H.R. 1526 as read while adopting the Judiciary Committee's substitute, reducing procedural hurdles for those measures.
  • Discharge process: It bars certain motions to discharge committees for resolutions substantially like specified House resolutions and removes disallowed discharge motions from the calendar, narrowing paths to force floor consideration.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

Require proof of citizenship to vote

Had it passed, the resolution would have let the House quickly consider H.R. 22. H.R. 22 sought to change the national voter registration law to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The rule would have waived points of order, treated the bill as read, and limited debate to one hour split between the House Administration chair and ranking member, with one motion to recommit. The resolution itself only set floor rules; the citizenship requirement would have taken effect only if H.R. 22 later became law.

Limit courts' power to issue injunctions

Had it passed, the resolution would have made it in order to consider H.R. 1526 quickly. H.R. 1526 sought to amend federal law to limit district courts' authority to issue injunctions. The resolution would have waived points of order, treated the Judiciary Committee substitute as adopted, considered the bill as read, limited debate to one hour split between the Judiciary chair and ranking member, and allowed one motion to recommit. The resolution only set floor rules; changes to injunction law would have taken effect only if H.R. 1526 later became law.

Vote to overturn payment-app rule

Had it passed, the resolution would have allowed the House to take up S.J. Res. 28 quickly. S.J. Res. 28 sought to disapprove a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule about which digital payment apps count as "larger participants." The rule change could have shifted oversight for big payment apps. The resolution waived points of order, treated the joint resolution as read, limited debate to one hour split between the Financial Services chair and ranking member, and allowed one motion to commit.

Block discharge motions and table resolutions

Had it passed, the resolution would have laid House Resolution 23 and House Resolution 164 on the table, removing them from immediate consideration. It would also have barred motions to discharge committees that were substantially the same as House Resolution 23 and barred similar motions to discharge the Rules Committee. Any discharge motion rendered out of order by those rules would have been stricken from the discharge calendar. These were procedural limits on what Members could offer on the floor.
