Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 4) to amend the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to revise the criteria for determining which States and political subdivisions are subject to section 4 of the Act, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 326) expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United States efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a negotiated two-state solution. This resolution sets forth the rule for consideration of H.B. 4 (Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019) and H.Res. 326 (urging U.S. efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a negotiated two-state solution).

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for debating and voting on two separate matters in the House of Representatives: H.R. 4, a bill aiming to update the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by revising the criteria used to determine which states and local governments are subject to certain federal oversight provisions designed to prevent discriminatory voting practices, and H. Res. 326, a non-binding resolution expressing the House's opinion that the United States should support efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For H.R. 4, the resolution waives all objections to its consideration, deems a specific amended version of the bill as adopted, and waives all objections to its provisions, allowing for one hour of debate and one motion to recommit before a final vote. Similarly, for H. Res. 326, the resolution allows for its consideration without objection, deems specific amendments as adopted, and permits one hour of debate before a final vote.
