Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 648) making appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 31) making further continuing appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2019, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of motions to suspend the rules; and waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules. This resolution sets forth the rule for consideration of H.B. 648 (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019) and H.J.Res. 31 (FY2019 Department of Homeland Security appropriations). The resolution makes it in order at any time through the legislative day of February 1, 2019, for the Speaker of the House to suspend the rules. In addition, the resolution waives a specified requirement of Rule XIII (Calendar and Committee Reports) to allow consideration of any resolution reported from the Committee on Rules through the legislative day of January 30, 2019, on the same day it is presented to the House, relating to a measure making or continuing appropriations for FY2019.

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering two important legislative items: H.B. 648, a bill to make appropriations (funding) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and H.J. Res. 31, a joint resolution to provide further continuing appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the same fiscal year. Essentially, it sets the stage for debate and voting on these funding measures by waiving certain procedural rules that would normally apply, such as allowing all points of order against the consideration and provisions of these bills to be waived, limiting debate to one hour, and allowing only one motion to recommit. Additionally, it allows the Speaker of the House to consider motions to suspend the rules at any time until February 1, 2019, and waives a requirement that typically needs a two-thirds vote to consider certain reports from the Committee on Rules on the same day they are presented, specifically for resolutions related to making or continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2019, through January 30, 2019.
