## Summary

**This resolution creates procedures to deliver expedited consideration for two bills by limiting debate and waiving most points of order.** It sets how committee substitutes, amendments, and final passage will proceed to speed floor votes. - House members: Floor debate is limited to one hour total, split equally between the committee chair and the ranking minority member, and there is only one motion to recommit. - Committees: The committee's substitute amendment is treated as adopted and the bill as amended is declared read, with most points of order against the bill and its provisions waived. - Which bills: The rules apply to H.R. 276, which would rename the Gulf of Mexico, and H.R. 881, which would impose Department of Homeland Security funding conditions on institutions with ties to Confucius Institutes.
