Bill > HRes357

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering two bills in the House of Representatives: H.B. 986, which aims to nullify certain administrative guidance related to state innovation waivers under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often referred to as Obamacare), and H.B. 2157, which makes additional appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. For H.B. 986, the resolution allows for one hour of debate, waives all points of order against its consideration and provisions, and limits amendments to those specifically printed in the Rules Committee report, with strict rules for their offering and debate. For H.B. 2157, it also allows for one hour of debate, waives points of order, and sets up a process where an amendment in the nature of a substitute (a complete replacement of the bill's text) is considered adopted, making the amended bill the basis for further amendment, again with limitations on what further amendments are allowed and waiving points of order. In both cases, the resolution sets the stage for final votes on the bills after amendments are considered.
