Bill > HRes52

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a specific piece of legislation, H.J. Res. 28, which is a joint resolution aimed at making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2019, meaning it would provide temporary funding for government operations until a full budget is passed. The resolution waives certain procedural objections, known as "points of order," that could otherwise prevent or delay the consideration of H.J. Res. 28 and any proposed changes to it, ensuring it can be debated and voted on more quickly. It also allows for a limited amount of debate and a single opportunity to send the bill back for further review before a final vote. Additionally, this resolution allows the Speaker of the House to consider motions to suspend the rules, a procedure used to quickly pass legislation, at any time up until January 25, 2019, with consultation with the Minority Leader on which matters will be brought up.
