AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This resolution sets the rules for how the House will consider another bill, H.R. 185, when it comes up for a vote. It allows the House to move straight to that bill, limits procedural objections, and controls how debate and amendments will work. In simple terms, it is a plan for debating and voting on the bill, not the bill itself.
- It makes H.R. 185 the next item of business in the House right after this resolution is adopted.
- It blocks most procedural challenges that could delay consideration of the bill or its provisions.
- It allows one substitute amendment, if it is submitted in time by the ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules; if more than one is submitted, only the last one counts.
- Debate is limited to one hour, split equally between the majority and minority leaders or their designees, and the House may offer only one motion to recommit before final passage.

then only the last amendment submitted shall be considered as adopted.
The bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. All points of order
against provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. The previous

any further amendment thereto, to final passage without intervening
motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by
the majority leader and minority leader or their respective designees;
and (2) one motion to recommit.
