AI Summary

This Resolution sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a bill, H.R. 9, which aims to require the President to create a plan for the United States to fulfill its commitments under the Paris Agreement, an international accord to combat climate change. Specifically, it allows the House to go into a committee to debate the bill, waives all objections to its consideration and to specific parts of the bill, limits general debate to 90 minutes controlled by specific committees, and restricts amendments to only those pre-approved and printed in a report from the Committee on Rules, with further limitations on how these amendments can be debated and offered. The resolution also dictates the process for voting on the bill and any adopted amendments, ultimately allowing for a single motion to send the bill back for further review before a final vote.
